Ally Higgins's Peer Review
This is well organized and easy to follow. I found no grammatical issue or major gaps in knowledge. A few things I would like know are why she was unsalaried and an example of her most famous work. I would also think a description of the methods and notational conventions she developed for transcribing talk would be beneficial to a reader. Also, I checked and all links work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ah5234a (talk • contribs) 21:25, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review- Gail Jefferson Article
Overall I think the article is highly developed! The section about Jefferson's education I think is highly detailed and offers significant insight into her background prior to her work specifically with CA. I feel that the article section dedicated to her work with CA could be enhanced with more examples of the types of concepts she worked with (e.g. give more examples of her work with laughter and its significance) and maybe make this examples more noticeable and evident by spacing them apart from the rest of the text (i.e. press return between examples so they can stand alone on their own line for emphasis). When reading the "Later life" section I felt like I struggled a little bit to understand fully what "Jeffersonian Transcription" is and how it is employed today, so if there are more examples that could be included for that section, I think it would be a useful addition. Otherwise, I think everything looks good! Mburnns (talk) 16:53, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Gail Jefferson peer review
I thought the lead was very cohesive and emphasized all of the important information about Gail Jefferson's life and contributions to linguistics. The structure of the article made sense, the sources were good, there were no major syntactical errors or grammar or spelling errors. The one thing I was missing from this article was a clear sense on what exactly GJ did for linguistics. I get that she strongly influenced CA, but what exactly did she innovate about it? I think the article is too vague about her specific contributions and needs more work on specifying how she shaped CA. Ylils (talk) 01:06, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review for Class
Nice Read!

Lead: the lead was concise and went directly to the impact that she has had in the world. This is very effective, but I believe for an article like this there needs to more information and detail about Gail Jefferson's life.

Structure: I really liked the way that the article was structured, from her early life to the major contribution that she made in linguistics, and her later life. It is almost like reading a book, which makes it more enjoyable to read overall.

Balanced Coverage: Due to the way that the article was structured, it was very evident that each portion of her life in respect to the subsections that were present, was properly covered. Her theory had a lot of detail compared to others, but that is only natural when that is what she is most known for.

Neutral Components: This article was very neutral.

Reliable sources: The sources that were used in the article ranged from scholarly journals to textbook entries. As a result of the nature of these sources, I can confidently say that these are reliable sources.

Peer Review
Overall, I think this is a pretty strong article! I think by far the most interesting thing is what Gail Jefferson did witht the Watergate Scandal and her involvement. If you could find any more information on that to add some breadth to that paragrah would probably very interesting within itself. Other than that the article looks great! Best of luck
