Hi! This article is amazing! Seriously! I think you have a lot of really substantive information. You have sectioned it off beautifully. I would just say to be careful with your language. Because you have a lot, there is a repetitive use of some conjunctions like "also." Furthermore, I have noticed two sentences I think should have more specific citations: "In Reproducing Race, Bridges discusses topics such as stratified reproduction, eugenics, and the racialization of disease." and "Within her second article published in 2013, "When Pregnancy is an Injury: Rape, Law, and Culture", Bridges proclaims that abortion is wrongly stigmatized. She aims to show that abortion is a natural element in the reproductive lives of women, and that the classification of pregnancy resulting from rape as an injury to women reframes pregnancy as a negative experience. In this way, Bridges states, the abortion of fetuses resulting from rape serves a healing function." Finally, when you lay out Bridges argument for Race and Reproduction, is there any way you can cite actual pages? Or maybe a scholar who lays out the argument themselves? It's very nit-picky, I know, but your article is already very well structured, so these are the only things I could pinpoint. Great job! Mdladams (talk) 03:35, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the thoughtful review! I will do my best to add citations to the passages you mentioned, and I have gone through to remedy my overuse of phrases like "also" and "as well as." I'm glad to hear that how I organized the article is working. I wasn't too sure about it, and wondered if I should put the sections in a different order. All in all this has been super helpful! Thanks so much! Mpraml (talk) 15:23, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Khiara M. Bridges Article Review Your article is organized and well done! The introduction is fantastic, you add the right amount of information to engage the reader. Mentioning Bridges' educational background was a good addition because her law degree influenced her writing style and arguments presented in her ethnographies and published pieces that you have under the Journal Article section. Your statements throughout the article are easy to understand, however, try to paraphrase a little in the Career Section. In this section you mention the word "also" too much. In the Symposium Article section it is not clear if Bridges offered a conference, lecture or discussion for the "Quasi Colonial Bodies" piece. Besides that everything is well, good job!

Hello! I appreciate you saying that the beginning of the article is done well. I was worried that I wasn't making Bridges' notability clear enough, but now I feel a lot better about it! I am wondering whether I should specifically mention that her law degree has had a large effect on her writing. What do you think? Like you recommended, I went through and edited the Career section to get rid of some of the "also"s and "as well"s. I didn't realize how much I was using them! Thank you for this critique! It is really helpful! Mpraml (talk) 15:23, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

I am astonished there is no word about her critics! She is a quite extremist adherent of critical race theory. This hole article seems to be written by a fan of hers. Thats not wiki standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.230.160.142 (talk) 15:53, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
