I am aiming to improve the current Wikipedia article for Terry Tempest Williams. This is my preliminary plan to do so:
Add significantly to the biographical section, .
Provide complete an accurate citations, which this article lacks.
Reformat the section of author's works to include the type of work and the years published.
Restructure the sections in the article, including sections for William's early life and education, influences, work as an activist, writing career, and possibly also themes found in her work.
My hope is that these changes will significantly improve the current article, which I do not believe adequately captures who Terry Tempest Williams is.

Lldond09, Another serious omission in this article is the influence of Terry's Mormon faith on her writing, and an acknowledgement of her as a role model for progressive LDS women. I'll try to flesh this out, and may also enlist a few others to help.
As of 03:44, 10 April 2009 (UTC), I have made significant edits to this page in terms of restructuring, biographical information, references, and additions to the "lead" paragraph. I would like to continue editing this page in order to include more inline citations, and I would also like to add more about William's work as an activist.

Terry Tempest Williams was on the public radio show Krista Tippett on Being (formerly Speaking of Faith) on or about February 3, 2011. I haven't really listened to the whole show, but I'm pretty sure a podcast version of the show (as well as a longer unedited recording of the interview) are still available either on their web site or iTunes. There is probably much that could be drawn from the interview to add to this article, but at least at the moment, I don't have time to do it myself... 18:03, 10 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.70.201.220 (talk)
In the article header it states that Terry Tempest Williams was born in Salt Lake City, Utah; However in the "Early life, education, and work" It states that she was born in Corona California. I assume only one of these is true... Dented42 (talk) 02:11, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
