Re-wrote assignment 8 to fix the errors and copied it to assignment 9. The main issues that were fixed were grammar throughout and elaborating more like her early career. Expanded more on the lead section to include her work with undergraduates. Worked on trying to find what works received awards, but only saw the awards. We tried to place an image of her but says it requires permission. Sanjin Agic (talk) 04:13, 1 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Brendan.ndsu and Sanjin Agic:

Nice work on your draft. There are a few formatting things to change - references go after punctuation, not before, and the standard format for Wikipedia biographies would be Nancy Eisenberg (born 1950) is...". Your references are also bare URLs - please turn them into properly-formatted references using the Cite tool as outlined on this slide.

I'm a little concerned that you have no independent sources. While it's difficult to write about academics without using non-independent sources (because reliable sources tend not to write about academics to the extent they should), I recommend that you try to find a few.

I tried to see if the Citation Bot could fix those references for you, but it didn't do a whole lot. You'll have to pick the "Manual" tab on the Cite tool to try to fill these out. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:17, 6 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
