Hi ! First of all: WOW. Amazing expansion of this article! This will be such a meaningful addition to the article that currently exists! Here's some feedback for you to improve even more:
 * You can link to the concept of noblesse oblige in the lead. Also, as it's a French expression, it should be in italics in the article (non-English words/phrases are italicized)
 * For the early life section, it's good to start with the date of birth. The lead is supposed to be a synopsis of the rest of the article, and shouldn't have any unique information. However, at current, her birth date only appears in the lead.
 * For this sentence Though she became frustrated with the limitations for women within the church it might be good to include an example for the readers' clarity. It could instead read "Though she became frustrated with the limitations for women within the church, such as x and y, she..."
 * For internal consistency across all articles, Wikipedia articles should have references directly following punctuation. So it should be Sentence[period][reference][space]Sentence or Clause[comma][reference][space]clause. Most of the article is in this way, but I see a few instances of the reference coming before a comma or period. This is really easy to fix in edit mode--just drag and move the reference after the punctuation.
 * You vary whether boys club is simply plural (early life and education section, "established a boys club") or plural possessive (Hull House section, "She built a Boys' Club building")
 * It would be good to add a link to National Woman Suffrage Association in the woman's suffrage section
 * Best to avoid contractions in writing for Wikipedia speaker had said that women didn’t want the vote
 * This sentence lacks a citation Bowen died of a stroke in 1953 in Chicago and is buried in Graceland Cemetery.

Overall, once you finish adding the citations you've indicated, this is ready to move live! Most of the things I've pointed out are small formatting issues, and hopefully shouldn't take long to fix. Let me know if you have any questions, though! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 04:50, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, I published my changes! There are still problems with the citations, though, and I need your help.

Thanks for your help--Jbox19 (talk) 19:41, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Some of the citations for Schultz that I used more than once repeat the reference as #2, others created a full new listing. I tried to work around the need for a template by just referencing them all to the same source, but that doesn't seem to be working. Maybe I have to do that template thing you were talking about?
 * Should I delete note #13, which no longer goes anywhere and I can't find it in the wayback archive? (this was inserted by the original poster)
 * Some of citations have red text because it doesn't like the way my dates are listed. what to do?
 * a few more things:
 * Find a Grave is not considered a reliable source. I don't know if I missed it last time or it was recently added, but if I missed it then I apologize. It's user-generated content with no editorial oversight (kind of like Wikipedia) so it's considered best to work around it.
 * If you're using the exact same reference multiple times, then you'll want to use the "reuse" option. When you are in edit mode and click "cite", you choose between "automatic", "manual", and "reuse" (tabs at the top of the popup box). If you want to cite the same source but a different page, you can use either short footnotes or the reference page template. More here.
 * For some reason, the automatic citation generator puts the date into a format that it doesn't even recognize. To fix this, click on the citation while in "edit mode". Now click "edit" and look at the date field. For date format, make sure you're using a consistent format. Formats it recognizes are "July 24, 2019", "24 July 2019" "July 2019" and "2019" (I think there are a few others). It doesn't recognizes "2019-07", though.
 * As far as the URL that doesn't work, it's okay to have reference that aren't linkable. In this case, it appears to be a book. Often times, books are not readable online (or fully readable, at least) but they are still considered reliable sources. You don't have to remove this reference. You can, however, remove the link so that the reader isn't frustrated by clicking on a dead link. While in edit mode, click the reference, then click "edit". Remove the URL from the URL field and click "save".
 * Let me know if you have more questions! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:58, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * OK I fixed most of the issues. However, can you take another look at note 11? It's not a book. It is a weblink that is now missing. There's also a typo in it (Louis instead of Louise). ??  --Jbox19 (talk) 20:32, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , ah, previously it must have been #13, as you said above. I was able to find this URL in the Wayback Machine here. You can fix the typo by editing the citation as outlined above. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 22:04, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
