Talk:Lillian Exum Clement

Lillian Herself
Lillian was a very bold women who looked at such things as shakeshpere as a child. She was elected to the NC House of representatives in 1920, the first woman to serve in any state legislature in the South. Even more amazing, she was elected BEFORE the passage of the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. She was the first woman attorney in North Carolina WITHOUT men partners.

Copyvio
It looks like the original version of this page copied a section directly from Lillian's List. I hate to hide so many revisions of the article, but the text was preserved throughout. Guettarda (talk) 00:44, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Feedback
Hi thanks so much for pointing out this issue of copyright so that it could be addressed! Here are some suggestions for you:
 * You can link James Jefferson Britt in the article. It doesn't look like there's an article to Robert G. Goldstein, but linking one of them helps build the tree of knowledge around the site, making it easier for readers to navigate between pages.
 * Per the Wikipedia Manual of Style, section titles should be in sentence case, not title case. Therefore, only the first word of a section title (and any proper nouns) are capitalized. So instead of "Early Life" you should have "Early life" and so on.
 * Try to use as specific phrasing as possible, using facts to back up your word choice. So when you say elected in a landslide, it might be nice to have information about the margin of victory, which would support that it was, in fact, a landslide.
 * Some of the content could be reorganized. I don't think it's intuitive that you have information about her marriage, children, and death under the "political career" section
 * this sentence is lacking a citation: "A North Carolina Democratic fund-raising group, founded in 1998, is named "Lillian's List" in her honor. The organization provides law school scholarships for women and support pro-choice women candidates for North Carolina state elected offices."
 * I see that one of the citations (A popular history of western North Carolina : mountains, heroes, and hootnoggers) is a little wonky, with the author's first name[comma]last name instead of how it's supposed to be: Last, First. In edit mode, click on the citation in brackets after the sentence. The reference should come up in a pop-up; click "edit". You would then see that the author's first and last names are in the wrong fields--you can swap them so they are in the right spots (no punctuation is necessary, the template will format the reference correctly).
 * In a similar vein, I saw that A popular history of western North Carolina : mountains, heroes, and hootnoggers is listed twice in the reference section. When using a citation more than once, there's another way to do it so that the reference section only lists unique references instead of listing each reference once for every time it's used. Go in edit mode. At the end of the sentence you want to cite, click the cite button on the toolbar. On the pop-up, click "re-use". This will show you the citations already in use in the article--pick the one that applies!

Let me know if you have any questions about this feedback. Nicely done overall, though! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:29, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
