So since none of us have really come up with any ideas yet do we all wanna suggest two each and just kind of move on from there? We should try and get this done sooner than later.

My suggestions are: This one needs plenty of work and I have actually found other resources about the series before thanks to a previous assignment. The_Song_of_the_Lioness And the creation of an article for the book A Very Fine Line written by Julie Johnston, which is not even mentioned on the authors article.Lhovey2 (talk) 04:04, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

I have found one interview of Tamora Pierce about Heroines. I think this would be a citation for female role in fantasy genre.

Rosenberg, Alyssa. "Tamaro Pierce on 'Twilight,' Girl Heros, and Fantasy Birth Control", The Atlantic,Jun 3. 2011, https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2011/06/tamora-pierce-on-twilight-girl-heroes-and-fantasy-birth-control/239861/

Another interview is about Tamora talking about different approach she uses when writing male and female characters

Ohikuare, Judith. "Why Tamora Pierce Doesn't Shy Away From Sex In YA Lit", Refinery29, Feb 8. 2018, https://www.refinery29.com/tamora-pierce-interview?bucketed=true&bucketing_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F RX782FA (talk)

Plan to specifically working the article
Leilah: Themes, fix up the summary

Kevin: Themes, the reception of the series

Jake Pitts: The author's experience and choices in writing/ fixing up the work she's created

All: Clean up formatting article itself Lhovey2 (talk) 18:08, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Alexis' Peer Review
-The article does well in that it reads as a neutral tone. You guys tackle multiple sections for the article and do this very evenly, without heavily focusing on one part over another. -I would look at sentence structure a little bit, sometimes it was confusing in some parts, but it is small so it would not be any big changes you would have to make. Readers would be able to more easily follow what you're trying to put across this way. I'm sure you already know this, but also make sure to not copy over the end of sentences where it says "Kevin" :) -Also, maybe insert authors' names from the articles that you used as your sources? Doing this would make your tone sound even more neutral so editors and readers of Wikipedia know for a fact that what you have included is not your own opinion, but from research you have found that was done by someone else. This was the only major thing I noticed that could be improved on. -You guys already linked a couple Wikipedia articles to some of your terms, which is great! I haven't even looked at that yet for ours so good job! --Amentis16 (talk) 18:00, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Brittany's Peer Review
This article is very strong in its content, with appropriate length, sources, and subject. I would make sure to format the citations correctly, adding one after every sentence that requires one. This is so people can find the citation they need if they want to do more reading, instead of having to sort through a few citations that are put at the end of a paragraph. As far as formatting goes it is very strong, just make sure to remember to remove the "Kevin" signatures at the end of the "reception" and "gender" sections before you move it over to Wikipedia. Also, your quotations in the "reception" category need to use the appropriate punctuation and citation at the end of the sentence. This formatting change is the most important, as well as making sure that you maintain neutral and encyclopedic language throughout your article. You generally do this very well, it only falters in a few places such as the first sentence of "gender", where you take on a very informal tone, as well as the grammar in the rest of that sentence when you say "put them into stereotypes which has been set by adult society". In the "bullying" section, the second and third sentences also need some work when it comes to tone and grammar. However, the thoroughness of your "reception" section when it comes to making sure to incorporate a wide range of reviewers has made me want to find a couple more sources for mine, and overall you've done a good job with the article!
