WHOA. You have a ton here, Emily--if you don't mind, I'd like to use this in class tomorrow as an example. The potential battle you are going to face with her in Wikipedia is "notability." So you really want to ramp up your sources--2 of the 5 are technically primary now, so go deeper than the first page of Google Books to dig up some more. Wikipedia is also going to make you attribute every single piece of information in this article. Most of it, off the top of my head, seems to be summary of her book. So when Wikipedia's editors see that most of your entry is coming from one source, and that it was written by her, they are going to kvetch about that. Draw on Dresser and other sources as much as humanly possible. have you also run her name through ProQuest, Academic Search Premier and even the Boston Globe?Ssenier (talk) 18:21, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Emily, you are right on track, and will be ready to go live on Friday, once you add your references to EVERY PARAGRAPH, if not every sentence, in the body of the entry. IMHO this is an "A" entry, whatever Wikipedia's editors decide. But I will caution you that they still want to see that (a) every single statement in your entry is sourced; and (b) that you are really relying on more than one source. So prove that to them!Ssenier (talk) 13:51, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
