Prof. Feedback - Great work with this so far. This is such a sad situation and an important profile to highlight. hyperlinks:I think linking to a wikipedia page on sexual violence would be helpful here. You can think about this as a next step in refining the article -- what can it link to, and what can link to it? lead/organization: the lead is good but you may want to think about the headings for the rest re: natural disasters and career -- it's also all so interlinked. You may keep the ones you have, or you may decide on something else, though I think the order works. Perhaps "Career" could be replaced by "Activism"? sources: please make sure that your sources accurately reflect the information you say they are: I noticed that the link for source #3 doesn't work. I think source #4 is the one that has info for "personal life" though you have source #3 listed there. Here's another source that I found that may be useful https://www.ijdh.org/2006/03/archive/kofaviv-commission-of-women-victims-for-victims/ --T. Danylevich (talk) 21:27, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Mia! I appreciated reading your Wiki page; it was very informative! I particularly liked the way you organized your page into succinct events/categories that summarize Villard-Apollon's achievements. I couldn't believe that the Haitian government did not provide adequate justice for rape and violence victims due to the Haitian Earthquake. It would be interesting to perhaps explore how Villard-Apollon gained name recognition that CNN Heroes was able to discover her. Or, perhaps it would be interesting to see the effects the program has had on victims. These, of course, are suggestions, but overall the page is very well-written.

Aida's Feedback - Hey Mia! I particularly liked your introduction; it's a good overview of Malya and her work. Everything is really well-cited and referenced. I'm wondering if there is a way to potentially add more to the "Haitian Earthquake and Hurricane Sandy" section. Did you find anything in the articles about what Malya did to directly help survivors after the earthquake and hurricane? I think it could be a good follow-up to the statement from her that you included. Other than that, I think this is very well-written and informative! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aidaross13 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Not really feedback, but the article is marked as needing more categories. I'm not quite sure that it does, so I left it as is. Any feedback or suggestions is useful, I'll let someone with more experience decide whether to remove the tag. Mjychabaud22 (talk) 18:03, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
