Hello, Bigbuddos, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Peer Review

edit

The edits in the first paragraph as a little confusing, I would re-word just to be easier to follow.

Reword the disappearance sentence.

Change the transition to the "in the 1885" paragraph reads a bit condutriory.

I would make the publishing of her novels a new paragraph.

Good wording in the "her marriage" paragraph.

Good wrap up of her life!

"as a result" paragraph sounds a bit opinionated I would reword just to be careful

"Her work" sentence should start a new paragraph.

"while many african..." sounds like bias.

"this treatment" should be new paragraph.

Good novel summaries

Would do the number 50?

I would citi the Boston Globe statement just to backup your statement.

The last section needs some sources just because of the claims made.


Summary: I think you have a strong page and made impactful edits. At times your wording is strange, I would just go through to make sure what you are trying to say is clear to those that haven't done the research you have. Overall, your information is good but at certain places I would break it up just to help the reader out (see above). A few places, your word choices seem a bit bias, so just to prevent that I would rework so that it doesn't seem like your opinion is creeping in. Overall great work!

The lead for this article was updated to provide more info on who Emma Hawkins' family was and discuss common themes of her work. The content added is relevant, well-written, and important to the article/topic, such as information about Emma's two novels: Megda (1891) and Four Girls at Cottage City (1895). The content added is divided into sections that reflect the major points of the topic. In other words, the information provided is well-organized. Content reads neutral and factual; there are few biases or opinions stated. I would rework the "As a result" paragraph because it seemed a bit biased. Overall, the article is much more complete than it was before and the quality is high. Great job!
