Page Thoughts: Cascade Model of Relational Dissolution

I would like to build the basic structure of an article with background info that other, more knowledgeable scholars can build upon.

Article Evaluation:

American Literature (academic discipline)

Thoughts on Article:

content: Initial comment is underdeveloped and needs expansion. The wording is awkward in places. Missing information on movements and theoretical approaches to study. Could use images.

tone: Tone is good and not biased.

sourcing: Has two comments in the second paragraph that are not cited.

• Source 1: is out of date, 1995, and cannot be viewed. I happen to be familiar with the book referenced. Other than being old, content would be acceptable in an article of this topic.
• Source 2: is also a book. It's a biography of an early American historian. Only some of its content would be connected to the study of American Literature. Source is from 2011. Biographer does have a specific view on topic, bias.
• Source 3: has an ISBN. I am also familiar with this book and it is acceptable.
• Source 4: has some info, but it is from a talk in 1996 and is more interested with Dartmouth's role in American Literature than the development of the content.
• Source 5: is a link to the journal being referenced. Acceptable
• Source 6: Information is current and connected to content. Acceptable

Talk Page: only has two comments. There is a link to a page on the same topic that seems to be the primary article that is significantly more developed. C-Class and mid importance, part of Wiki Project Education.
