• ... that author Elizabeth Jordan edited the first two novels of Nobel Prize winner Sinclair Lewis?

Article is long enough, and has been expanded 5x. Image is in public domain. Hook is good, but should it be modified to state that she edited the first of Sinclair Lewis's novels (perhaps naming it?). The text of the article states that his second novel 'required no editing', which seems to contradict the statement in the hook that she edited it. I'd also personally like to see certain details included from the NYPL bio by Valerie Wingfield (names of her parents, place of her death and burial, fact that she never married, that she published her memoirs) because I think Wikipedia readers would expect to find those details in a biographical article. The link to the article by June Howard goes to a 404 Page error. NinaGreen (talk) 21:16, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks. Issues have now been addressed. Good to go! I added an external link to an online source with quite a good biography of Jordan. Hope that's OK. NinaGreen (talk) 00:21, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
