I saw someone call her the "mother of the Sipsey wilderness". That's huge and our article should give her credit for it. I also saw (in the book I linked) that she is credited with starting the Eastern Wilderness Movement, and that's the movement that led to the Eastern Wilderness Act. Your article should have that link, and verify it, and it should note that she--apparently--testified before Congress. This lady was really that important.

This has the potential to be a really good article! Need to put your references in your article!!! I also feel you could do a section on both Sipsey and Cheaha. --Aporter90 (talk) 16:10, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input, I like the idea of doing separate sections for each project.JANAE2290 (talk) 03:38, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

JANAE2290, I just reviewed your article for the did you know section. I think your article is fantastic and is well written! Cheaha is a fun place to go and hike. I actually have pictures of the view at Cheaha. Maybe I can upload one for you to use if I have a decent one. --Aporter90 (talk) 01:55, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review 2

This is a great article. You may want to go over grammar, but other than that the article is well written. It provides the reader with full understanding of who Marry Ivy Burks. I liked how well you stayed neutral and added only necessary and accurate facts about Burks. Also, your sources are very credible and useful sources of information on the Burks.
