Talk:Ovidia Yu

Peer Review
You have a very large amount of information, and have compiled it very effectively. Despite this, I would try to create another section regarding her Legacy, and further developing her choice to write about strong female characters. Analyzing Yu's method of writing about strong female characters indicates her impact on women's culture, and how her identification as a lesbian further demonstrates her impact on women.

I think you did a really good job of organizing information in sections regarding her different types of writings- plays, fiction, and non-fiction. The different sections showed the versatility of Yu's writing ability and expands her impact.

One of things that can be improved is the diction, sometimes rewording sentences can convey the message in a more clear manner. Regardless of that you have created a very strong biographical article regarding Ovidia Yu and there is not a whole lot I would recommend changing as it is well written and sufficiently structured.

 * Great feedback - and there are some specific questions about wording, etc. made to your sandbox draft here. I like the idea of include analysis of her work, impact on women's culture, etc. This type of information needs to come from reliable, secondary sources - such as reviews, journal articles, books, etc. It should not be your analysis or it's considered original research which is not allowed.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 03:35, 21 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your feedback! I agree with your suggestions, however I had issues finding more reliable information on her impact on women's culture. If I had found more, I would have included it. I was not able to find much more information beyond the simple fact that she wrote about strong female characters, unfortunately.Rungos (talk) 17:37, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

I was wondering if there's another source which corroborates Ovidia Yu's PhD at Cambridge. All I've run into on Singapore's NLB website is that she "side-stepped" a PhD, which presumably means she didn't complete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.114.250.185 (talk) 05:50, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
