Alice Mary Longfellow
[edit]
- ... that Alice Mary Longfellow, daughter of the poet, was instrumental in founding the Harvard Annex, now Radcliffe College, which has a building (pictured) named in her honor?

I haven't completed my review yet since the dablinks tool isn't working for me. But so far it's an excellent, well-researched article. Two things jump out at me so far:
- I was able to find two disambiguation links, which I've corrected, but if there are any more, they need to be corrected as well. Hopefully, I will be able to verify that there are no more disambiguation links with dablinks soon.
- The section regarding the hook, Radcliffe College for Women, is a bit ambiguous for those not already familiar with the history of these institutions. What's the exact relationship between Radcliffe and the Harvard Annex? Did one become or was absorbed by the other? Usually we rely on the wikilinks for people to sort this out on their own by reading other articles, but since this matter is important for both the hook and her biography, it should be cleared up in this particular article.
- If I notice anything else I will post it here. Thanks. Gamaliel (talk) 22:40, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
- Gamaliel, thank you for taking the time to review the article. The Harvard Annex became Radcliffe; it has since become part of Harvard University. I'll try to clarify that in the text. I'll also look for other link problems. --Midnightdreary (talk) 23:31, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
