General info

 * Whose work are you reviewing? (provide username) User:HaydenDoughty
 * Link to draft you're reviewing: Milly Swan Price

Lead
Guiding questions:


 * Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer? Yes, she wrote the entity of the lead section for her new article.
 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes, but I would add how Millie went on to become a property owner after her indentured servitude was over.
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? Yes, it does.
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article? It alludes to her "more public activities" but does not specify what/which kinds of public activities. I would clarify this by describing these activities or replacing the phrase with a brief overview of her court cases and property ownership.
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? It is very concise.

Content
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added relevant to the topic? Yes, it is relevant to the topic.
 * Is the content added up-to-date? Yes, it is up-to-date.
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong? The article is missing some information. For example, it does not mention the rulings in her court case against Bettie or her death date. However, this is because the information was not recorded or not preserved as has been lost to time.
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? Yes, it takes a small step in closing the equity gap on Wikipedia by providing information on a black woman. Black women have been traditionally been underrepresented and ignored in the study of history, and their stories have gone untold.

Tone and Balance
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added neutral? Yes, the content is neutral.
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No, there are not claims that appear heavily biased towards a particular position.
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? No.
 * Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? No.

Sources and References
Guiding questions:


 * Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? Yes, the content is backed up with reliable and recent sources.
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic? Yes, they do. There is not much scholarship available on Millie Swan Price, but Hayden did a great job of finding high quality sources.
 * Are the sources current? Yes, the sources are from 2000 and 2009.
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible? Due to the limited amount of scholarship, there was a limited array of authors. However, Beverly Bond is a black woman.
 * Check a few links. Do they work? Yes, these links work, but you could link more things!

Organization
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? Yes, it is well written. However, the subsection Marriage and Children is a little confusing, especially with the addition of a bunch of names during the description of her court cases. I would go through and reword a few sentences to make it easier to read. The rest of the article is good.
 * Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors? There are a few grammatical errors, especially in the paragraph about her court case with Bettie. A quick proof read should be able to fix any errors and clarify the paragraph.
 * Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? Yes, the content is well-organized. However, I would suggest the addition of a subsection under Marriage and Children to talk about her court case and inheritance.

Images and Media
Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media- No images added


 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? N/A
 * Are images well-captioned? N/A
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations? N/A
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way? N/A

For New Articles Only
If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.


 * Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject? Yes, the article meets the Notability requirements.
 * How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject? While the list of resources is small, it is representative of the limited amount of scholarship available.
 * Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles? Yes, it does.
 * Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable? It does link to a few sources, but I would find a way to link more articles.

Overall impressions
Guiding questions:


 * Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? Yes.
 * What are the strengths of the content added? The article brings the story of a black, female property owner to light! While this is traditionally unheard of, the story of Milly Swan Price contradicts the traditional historical narrative and forces us to change our understanding of the past while bringing attention to traditionally underrepresented and oppressed minorities.
 * How can the content added be improved? I would add more links, restructure the Marriage and Family section to include a clearer narrative of her family, inheritance, and court case, and I would considered removing or condensing the information about her second husband's legal status in the section about her death. Great work!
