Page notes
[edit]Hi! I wanted to leave you some feedback on your draft:
- In the biography section things jump quickly from the grandfather's accident to the mother marrying. It's not a hugely problematic thing to worry about, it's just that it feels a bit sudden and could use a little something to join the two time periods together, if possible.
- Be careful of words like "nevertheless", as the can be seen as a bit of a point of view statement and can also come across as you trying to argue a point. Like the previous note, the ones you have in the article aren't hugely problematic, but it's something to fix if you can. I've edited some of these for you.
- I'm uneasy about the section on notable opinions. The reason for this is that the title can make people assume that these were cherry-picked. I think that there's definite merit in listing some of her major opinions, so this should be retitled to something like "Selected opinions". This makes it a little more neutral and also makes it easier to ensure that it doesn't get weighed down by too many opinions. Finally, make sure that every claim in the article is backed up by the source material - in other words, the source has to explicitly state what is in the article. I'm concerned about the sentence about Dietemann v. Time, Inc setting a precedent, as the source doesn't really say that per se. (IE, it doesn't use the word precedent.) All you need for this is to add a source that uses this word. Also, avoid adding things like "this is important" because that can be seen as a little subjective. I'd instead phrase it something like this:
- This helped set precedent on freedom of press and specifically, the limitations that the First Amendment has on protecting the freedom of press.
Overall this is very, very good and most of what I have here are small things. None of them are things that I'd say would prevent you from moving your work live, as you can definitely work on these after the move. Good job! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:49, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
