Edward Tripp

Lead section - Tripp is only presented as a Children's literature author, missing information pertaining to his job as the Editor-in-chief at Yale University Press and his work dealing with classical mythology. -Not enough detail about his work as an editor or an author -No detail about his personal life though the page is included in the Wikiproject biography

Content -no mention of his work for periodicals and encyclopedias -no mention of his editorial work -mentions his work for children's literature but only briefly -does not mention "The Meridian Handbook of Classical Mythology" which is a somewhat renowned work.

Tone and Balance -neutral tone -whoever wrote this had limited knowledge of Tripp outside of his work for children's literature -Not clearly persuasive, but the extensive lack of information provides a very limited view of Tripp

Sources -There is only one reference from a New York Times article that was published after his death - Tripp, Edward. “[Letter from Edward Tripp].” Music Theory Spectrum, vol. 7, 1985, pp. 213–213. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/745892. -Many details from the only source provided wasn't included, could have been utilized better -The source is the first thing that comes up when you google Tripp, suggests little to no research was done when this was written -Though his was not a prolific writer, Tripp's work as an editor means there is much more work of his that could be mentioned -his work is not cited

Organization and Writing quality -little to no effort was put into the organization of this page and the writing is minimal

Images and Media -no media included

Talk Page Discussion -no real conversation occurring except for acknowledgment of its stub-class status -says it is covered by Children's literature wiki project and biographies, though the literature is not explained only mentioned

Overall impression -It is odd that the wikipedia page for a Yale University Press editor in chief fails to mention any of his editorial work. -More information is certainly needed -Would be made more useful if it expanded on his major work "The Meridian Handbook of Classical Mythology" -It is underdeveloped and poorly organized. Far more information is available. - A photo of Edward Tripp would be an easy way to make this article more interesting
