Jill Costello

Hi Embutton.

Firstly, I'd like to say that the article looks like it will be great. We do have some regulations on what we can use as external links and reliable sources, you may want to review them. You might also want to look at Wikipedia:Picture tutorial on how to present the images.

A short things to do list - The reason being I have high hopes for this article, I don't think it's just going to be a stub that just sits round, we can collaborate together, get it to appear on the main page in the did you know section and I don't think we'll have lots of problems getting it to "Good status" (one of the top 20k articles on WP)

Write about the campaign, especially Jog for Jill, and the billboards.
You'll have to take the logo out - it's trademarked and not yours to offer freely. Not sure that it really adds to the article either.
Sources on Youtube and twitter and the like are not exactly reliable, so not particularly helpful.
Are there any obituaries from local newspapers? they may be helpful. Might require you going to the library.
The awards and honours section seems a bit trivia like as bullet points, it'd be a lot better if it could be reformed as prose.
Similarly with some other sections, one sentence paragraphs can look messy.
I've had a go at the references, have a look at what I've done - effectlively I've named one reference (generally the first) and then reused it over and over. That stops the messy look.

That's all I've got for now, but I'm not thinking clearly so I might have more tomorrow. I've also found some useful things you might want to add

Hope you don't mind me loading you up. If you don't get through it all, don't worry, just keep plodding, I'll be back to help out with it, maybe Monday, but I'll be back. Worm^TT · (talk) 21:21, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Worm! Thank you soo much for your feed back and for all your help! The task list is great, it gives me some direction on where to go. Plus, having a clearer more established path now I am able to recall more events and tributes. I am so glad you have such faith in this article. Jillian was an amazing woman and my dearest friend (so I figured I should be the one to get the wiki article going. Firstly, as for the additional links you included: I cited the NPR interview page with the transcript (I think I uploaded it correctly but I may have over looked it. The second article I knew about- I have the hard copy in my desk- thank you for reminding me of it. I know there has been so much stuff on Jill that I'd recently started keeping them open in a separate window to try and keep track of the new ones while trying to remember the rest. The 3rd article I have actually never seen before but its great because I remember hearing about it. It came out when Jill was put on hospice so I don't think we payed much attention to it, but I do recall her saying something about the mens team racing for her as well.

Below is a copy of her obituary. I think that I should incorporate it into some of her background information instead of citing the other articles so much. I hope this will not mess up the citation work you have done. Also I need to remind myself that I know a lot of this information from being there but that everything needs to be cited to prove authenticity. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?n=jillian-costello&pid=143764525

I am getting to work on your tasks. I am going through and putting the bullet points into prose and removing the twitter/youtube cites and replacing them with more official ones if I can find them. I took the logo out, I'm not sure if the rest of the "Jill's Legacy"Board will be happy about it, but once it is properly trademarked we can then get the rights to use it properly, I agree, it does not add much for now. I noticed your short citing (reusing of the cites) and I agree it looks very nice. As I dove right into the process and taught myself by trial and error it is very nice to see little techniques like that.

Finally on mention of the Campaign. It's been huge. The Legacy group has actually stemmed out of all the attention the campaign brought to Jill so much so that the Bonnie Addario Foundation decided they needed to make it an official part of their organization. Jillian had also been hired by them prior to her death to be the "Director of Public Awareness" a title she gave herself. Jill's goal was to have an impact like Susan G Komen had on breast cancer and I believe the foundation has just released something making a comparison between the two that they would like me to include. Jill's initial Jog for Jill was bigger than the first Komen event. I also have a personal email from Jill to me saying how she would like to make an impact like Susan G... I know its not from a news site but its straight from her to me- is there any way (creatively I'm sure) that it might be worked into the article? I'm not sure how I will be able to work everything in but it started with the initial invite she sent out asking people to participate in Septembers walk just days before her death. Things really picked up speed at her funeral when her cousin gave a final eulogy speaking about how Jillian most importantly would want people to donate and participate in events to spread awareness and finding a cure for LC much more than she wanted people to grieve for her. About 3000 people attended her wake/funeral and it was webcast where another 2000 people logged in to watch. The footage is still on the internet, in video format I know for sure, but maybe there is an article or two about it. At the funeral "Jog for Jill" bracelets were given out and since then they've been handed out at Cal football games and other sporting events along with every jog. A promotion for the Jog ran during a Cal football game and one ran at a Stanford one as well.-- I have footage of these but will have to find an article for them. The billboards/bus ad donations were actually coordinated by Jill's boyfriend Bryce who will be able to give me more information on it(prob Monday as well).. besides the numbers and the length of time they ran, what else do u think would be helpful? Further, its those bracelets that keep popping up as the Cal baseball team recently attributed their struggles and successes this year to Jill in this article.. http://www.omaha.com/article/20110623/CWS/706239743 Also, other Crews from around the country have all participated in "Jog for Jill's" and have written about them on their respective websites. Here is a link to Harvard's article http://www.thecrimson.com/blog/the-back-page/article/2010/10/1/wcrew-jogforjill-backpage-100110/

Sorry to explain so much but I think at least I can maybe use what I wrote here as a draft/ collection of thoughts for what can be added to the article. If you let me know which parts you think are important to include and which can be left out, that would be helpful. I know their are more "teams showing their support" articles and one "coxswains against cancer" article I will try and find.

Thank you again for all your help. I am trying to make Jill proud while at the same time trying to compile one excellent source for information about her since people always ask and get led in several different directions because of all the different types of media stories out there. (Lastly, and this is only my opinion, but the official Bonnie Lung Cancer websites, including Jill's aren't very good.)

I am so grateful for your help! Sincerely, Elizabeth Button
