So far, the article is going very well! There doesn’t seem to be any vocabulary that shows bias or opinion and the information presented is concise but still tells me a good amount about Burgess-Ware. I understand that it is hard to find sources for Burgess-Ware, so I understand that as of now there won’t be a perfect balance of subjects but so far it is good. If possible, I think adding a short summary of Burgess-Ware’s nurse writings would be beneficial to balance your article with the short story section, being that that section is more fleshed out and well-written. Also, the sources used are reliable in that they either come from the author or from a university press. Moreover, the sources are used well, plus I can tell that there is a plan to ensure that all your statements come from sources, even if they are not at the moment (“add source”). There are a few small grammatical errors, but those can be fixed quickly. I think the lead is written well and concise for the sources you have so far. Overall, so far I think it is very well-written and the information you provide is interesting and presented in an effective way. Good luck on the rest!

Burgess-Ware: Both sections on Burgess-Ware’s writing were really good and packed with information. Definitely neutral and I did not see any grammar or structure mistakes. For Ave Maria however, maybe you could add at the conclusion of the section the literary effect of the story, similar to how the Octroon had. You could state if the book was popular, if it was inspired by her life, and what themes of the time scholars said it has shown, etc. I think this would make the Wiki. page more informative! Great job! 2601:586:580:82B0:40AA:D8BE:1913:2FFC (talk) 00:58, 21 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Sarah! I really enjoyed reading your article on Marie Louise Burgess-Ware. You do a great job giving information on Burgess-Ware despite little being known about her. I liked how you elaborated within the "Known Works" section of the page because it provides a more detailed page even though the works aren't specific details of her life. By describing these works you have still provided details about Marie Louise Burgess-Ware because these works are apart of what she is remembered for. The one suggestion I have is under the "Life and Career" section you start by saying "Although little is known.." and then in the second sentence you say, "From the little that is known.." I would recommend deleting the start of the second sentence only because it is repetitive. Ultimately, the page looks great! Madelynnmarshall (talk) 00:56, 24 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
