Talk:Joan E. Goody

My recent edit
I changed the first sentence from:


 * "Joan E. Goody (December 1, 1935 – 8 September 2009) was a leading Boston, and well-known American architect known for her influence in the latter part of the 20th and early 21st century on Boston modern architecture and historic preservation."  (a Boston what, exactly?)

to:


 * "Joan E. Goody (December 1, 1935 – 8 September 2009) was an American architect based in Boston, Massachusetts, where she served on the faculty of the Mayor's Institute for City Design, and earlier as chair of the Boston Civic Design Commission."

The reason for this was that it was unclear to me that the first use of “Boston” in the sentence was unambiguously referring to the word “architect” a few words later (“Boston architect”). It didn’t make sense to me until another able editor explained it. On a different day, this sentence would have been perfectly comprehensible, but for some reason, today it confused me. So, my rewording was to avoid confusion for someone else, because if it confused me, it could also confuse others.

In addition, I added a few bits from the initial citation, and (inadvertently left out of my edit summary) corrected the title of said citation.
