Hi Precise123 I was at the editathon too! I'll take a look at the page and suggest some things to get it publishable! (& welcome to WikiPedia) Lajmmoore (talk) 15:07, 22 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

That's great - thank you! Very new to Wiki - thanks for a really good introduction to editing!

Ideas for ways to keep improving the page

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi @Precise123: this is such a great start, I'm going to make a little list of ways you could improve the page as it is at the moment. It might seem a lot, but don't worry, some of it is just conventions, that we didn't have time to go through:

Pages usually have a couple of sentences at the start (called the lead, on wikipedia) which summarises the rest of the article (often the last bit you right!
The lead doesn't need to have references in it, so what you could do here is start a new heading 'Biography' or similar and start at the beginning with what we know, so "Catherine Mary William was born in 1826.REFERENCE ...
The ONDB article appears to have more detail - do include that too e.g. family life in this section. If you're having a problem accessing it, let me know.
The 'Books' section makes a great start, but it might be advisable to separate what you say about the books and a list of publications. So below the 'Biography' section mentioned above you could add a new heading of 'Career' for example and it in say something like 'Her major works were XYZ. X is a book about ... Y is ... etc.'with references. Then below that just list the books with a the same reference.
It seems like her other major career development was her involvement in the Leeds School Board, so it would be great to have more detail about that.
You've made a great start with the sources in the article, here's a few more I found by searching 'Catherine Buckton' in scholar.google.com, which might be really useful:

 *She's mentioned here
 *Here
 *Here
 *Here

I hope this isn't too over-whelming - there's lots because she seems so AWESOME. If you want some help and would like me to directly edit the article, just let me know. Really looking forward to reading more about her! (To reply, click to the right of my username) Lajmmoore (talk) 19:26, 22 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
