Comments

I'm an online ambassador for your WMST 250: Women, Art, and Culture (2014 Q3) class and have just stopped by to provide a quick review and add what I hope will be helpful comments.

You've done a nice job with your article. It's well organized, provides good background and career information, which is well-cited. If you want to add some additional works, you can find them on World Cat.

If you want to add an image, one option is to find a copy of the cover of a book that meets copyright criteria, which should be easy if it's a first edition cover, or simple covers of reprints under PD-simple.

I'll check in on you again, and I'll be watching this page if you have any questions or comments.--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:43, 1 November 2014 (UTC

You may want to take a look at Janise Yntema for a sense of what an introduction or lede would look like. Wikipedia articles start with a "lead" section, which is a short summary of everything in the article. For some articles this summary can be a few paragraphs. Others (like Yntema's article and probably this one) can be a few sentences long.--CaroleHenson (talk) 03:48, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
