Peer Review

The article is well organized at first glance. I’d suggest the author add more overview to the lead section of the article and continue the work started in the biography and memories section. Also, the Memories of Childhood Slavery Days is a great idea, and it would be a good idea to continue adding to that section as well but try and add conversation that directly involves her childhood dynamics. The article is overall clear, neutral, and displays balance. The article also does well with neutral wording in the following sections and explanations, and it uses reliable sources to gather information. Johnnysnow2106 (talk) 15:31, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Hey Blake! You've got a good start to your article. I like how you transition from the biography section to the "Memories of Childhood's Slavery Days" section in the last sentence. At first, it seems like the biography section is a little small, but I assume you will be expanding upon her life in her autobiography in the next section. I think you introduce the autobiography well in the first 2 sentences of the "Memories..." section, and now you just need to expand upon the work in your discussion. Also, I don't know if you were able to find any photos in your research, but a picture might be a nice addition. Other than that, it seems like you have a clear structure, neutral content, and reliable sources. Now you just need to add more info about the autobiography. Good work!SonnieMunroe (talk) 16:24, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Blake, your lead to your article is concise and gets right to the point with the few key facts of information that you have which is important. In the sections that you did begin to write in, I think your tone is neutral and factual which is good, and I think you have a good start on your content because I assume you will have a lot more to write on. I agree with Sonnie that I think a picture would be really helpful if you are able to find one. Could you make the italicized title of her autobiography like a subheading of the biography section? Right now they look completely separate, but her book is technically her biography for the most part so I think making it a subheading would make sense.

Hello Blake, first I wanted to say that you started off on the right foot in this article. Of course, if you can and have the information for it, do continue to add more information to your article, especially in the introduction and in the Memories of Childhood's Slavery Days sections. I agree with the above editors in saying that the information you did include was nonfactual and neutral, which is perfectly aligned with Wikipedia guidelines. I also agree with Sonnie and Samantha, if you do happen to find a photo of the author, do include it!! Otherwise, great start on the article and I hope you continue editing and making it better. You get a gold star from me! MyaKreuer (talk) 17:15, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
