Talk:Lucy Feagin

GOCE edit
@SL93 In the process of a GOCE edit on this article and I have several questions.
 * 1) Lead section "Holland's Magazine...." Can you add a date to this? It helps to know if she were just beginning her career or well along in it.
 * Done. I have the month and year. I just need to source the sentence when you're done with the copyedit. SL93 (talk) 22:53, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Personal life. "...the Battle of Sharpsburg in 1862, leading to his losing his leg at the Battle of Gettysburg 10 months later." This is a little confusing. Wounded in 1862; loses leg in 1863. Can you clarify? Was he injured the entire 10 months? Was he wounded again at Gettysburg?
 * Done. I found the answer in this book. He was wounded at the Battle of Sharpsburg and then lost his leg due to a different wound at Gettysburg. The two events weren't related. SL93 (talk) 22:52, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) Teaching career. ...to her classes of students, artists, women, and businessmen." "Women" seems out of place here. students and artists can be women. Are these outsiders? Non academics?
 * 2) Teaching career "... New York's lecture corps in the bureau of education lecturing to parents and other adults." Could not find anything on the "bureau of education." Is the the precursor of the NY(City) Department of Education? Or the New York (State) Education Department?
 * 3) Teaching career "... Feagin operated her school for nine years until the beginning of World War I when she closed her studio to aid the war effort." We say she opened her studio in 1915; World War I began for the US in 1917. Where do the nine years come from?
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 22:52, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * 1) "... World War I when she closed her studio to aid the war effort." What did she do? This is a pretty big deal - to close her studio -- to do what?
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 22:52, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

I'll probably have some more as I continue to edit. Hope this is OK. Cleveland Todd (talk) 17:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I accidentally started editing the article again because I thought the copyedit was done. I hope I didn't cause any edit conflicts. SL93 (talk) 17:48, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * You're ahead of me then. I think you answered 5 and 6. I'm not quite done with the edit. When a GCOE editor finished a project, he puts a template * ✅ Cleveland Todd (talk) 17:55, 25 March 2022 (UTC) on the request page. It usually stays up for 24 hrs. when it's removed. I also put a GCOE template on the article talk page when finished. Cleveland Todd (talk) 17:55, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I just woke up. SL93 (talk) 17:58, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * "After the war ended, she resumed her classes at Carnegie Hall, in its new location at 316 West 57th Street in New York City." - The school opened again briefly at Carnegie Hall, then the school itself was relocated to 316 West 57th Street briefly, and then continued at the Rockefeller Center until the end. I wasn't sure how to word it. SL93 (talk) 18:12, 25 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Looking good. I'm going to mark this copy edit finished. You'll add the date for Holland's Magazine. The only question still outstanding is on the "lecture corps in the bureau of education." I don't think it's either important or a key issue. Interesting woman; excellent article. Cleveland Todd (talk) 18:27, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
