From these sources, information will be added regarding Gregory's early life and education, her career in teaching botany, and her later life. New headings will be created to organize the information in these areas. More detailed information is needed about her journey to becoming a professor at Barnard College and events in her life outside of botany, such as marriages and cause of death. Information about her publications and awards will also be added. Vandema5 (talk) 00:08, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Here are a couple suggestions for the article :)

1. Header - Usually the header includes what the person is most famous or known for. Do not get a very clear sense of that from this header. Try adding a little more introduction about her before saying “She died in 1897.”

2. Add more info to “Publications and Awards” section, possibly a little blurb about each one.

3. Life - Suggest addition of info about family/upbringing and how that influenced her career choice. This was not a normal profession for a woman in her time so what was the journey that led her there? Add more info to personal life, did she marry? Any kids?

4. Grammar/Flow/Formatting: Overall make the article flow better, seemed a little choppy in certain areas. Avoid starting a sentence with “Because”, try rewording this (it’s about the four sentence in). There are some parts where it looks like extra spaces are in between words and sentences, this is a simple formatting fix.

5. Recommend additional links to other Wiki articles.

Class Peer Review
Introduction part of the article is clear. But the last sentence, she died in 1897, is repeated and does not fit in that location. The later life part is important. But the information on it is not necessarily really clear. The last sentence mixes using numbers and letters for numbers together, which is hard to understand. Maybe some of the more detailed things should be moved from the intro to the accurate section.

“At this time, women were not yet accepted in graduate study programs. She achieved her doctorate degree at the University of Zurich after writing her dissertation titled “Comparative anatomy of the Filz-like hair-covering of leaf organs”. “ This is not clear as to how she was able to get into the graduate program.
