error in transcription of periodical printing of "Beat! Beat! Drums!" fixed

The transcription of "Beat! Beat! Drums!" duplicated the word "his" in line five. I've fixed this error in the WWA transcription. In addition, I've updated the bibliographic information for the Genoways volume referenced in the publication history section. Genoways' work was listed as "forthcoming," which I've changed to "2010."

More tweaking of guidelines

I've converted more of the wiki markup so that the page now displays an auto-generated table of contents.

Encoding Guidelines moved

I've finished a first round of editing the PmWiki version of the guidelines and have made this version the destination of the link on the Archive. Unlike the MediaWiki version that's been the destination for the last couple of months, this PmWiki version is not password-protected. I've also added Middlebury College to the table of Preferred Citations.

About the WWA Changelog

Scholars have long relied on print-based resources that are stable, or that remain more or less constant over time. The Whitman Archive, by contrast, changes frequently as new content is added and as errors are located and corrected. This record of additions and changes to the content to the Archive responds to the challenge of creating a digital resource that can serve as a scholarly reference. It represents an effort to be transparent about our methods and history and to render visible changes that would be otherwise largely invisible. We do not record minor changes to the appearance of the site or temporary server outages.
