Talk:Mary Linskill

Comments
I'm an online ambassador for your WMST 250: Women, Art, and Culture (2014 Q3) class and have just stopped by to provide a quick review and add what I hope will be helpful comments.


 * Take a look at Janise Yntema for a sense of what an article like this might look like. Wikipedia articles start with a "lead" section, which is a short summary of everything in the article. For some articles this summary can be a few paragraphs. Others (like Yntema's article and probably this one) can be a few sentences long.

I'll be watching this page and your sandbox page for any updates. You can also "ping" me (just type "" as you see it) to your message on this page or leave a message on my talk page. Happy editing!-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 20:20, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing / copyright issues
Hi,

Great job on the article! There's one aspect to look at closely - the content from the Discover Yorkshire coast appears to be a close paraphrasing / copyright violation. Phrases from the article are nearly identical to the phrases from the source:

Example 1:
 * Source: "Mary’s schooling was not extensive by modern standards and like many of her day, she left school aged eleven. She then became an apprentice milliner with Charles Wilson who had business premises at the bottom end of Bridge Street."
 * Article: "As many girls during her time, Mary left school at the age of eleven. She was then apprenticed to the milliner, Charles Wilson, in her youth.[1]"

Example 2:
 * Source: "By 1891 Mary Linskill was living in Spring Vale, Whitby and it was here she died on the 9th April 1891. She was only fifty years old. She is buried in Whitby Cemetery and a monument is in the Parish Church Yard."


 * Article: "It was in Spring Vale, Whitby Linskill died on April 9, 1891 at the age of 50. She is buried in Whitby Cemetery and a monument of her exists in the Parish Church Yard.[1]"

Please reword in your own words - including changing the order in which the words appear and, where possible, changing the words. One example might be: "At the age of 11, Linskill's school education ended and she went to work for Charles Wilson and learn the millinery trade."

It would be good to check other content within that source and other sources to ensure that there are no issues. Articles will copyright violations can be deleted.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 01:50, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
