Peer review

[edit]
  1. I like the lead section, it really sets up the rest of the article well. The amount of information is really good, almost everything has sources which is great. Your sources look like  I really like how much information you put on her specific career steps to get where she is today, and how you give equal emphasis to all of it.
  2. There is not too much I would change, I would consider making an awards section for her seeing as she and her creation have a notable amount of awards. Another thing is possibly adding the things that were mentioned about her education in the biography section to the education section, and combining the personal life and early life sections into the biography. Another thing is to change the flow of the career section, some of it is slightly stilted.
  3. I think the most important thing to do which would help with flow and continuity would be to reorganize some of your information. In all the article is really clear and neutral with only very small details that could be changed.
  4. One thing that I think my group could learn from yours is the structure of the lead. I think that you introduced the rest of the article really well with it, providing a lot of information to explain what she’s known for, I think that my group could learn from that and structure our lead section better.
  5. I didn’t edit too much, most of what I did was adding or taking away from a couple sentences to help with the flow.
