Overall edit
Katie great job researching unknown new candidate in such detail! I think this article would be stronger if you created full wiki based on politicians of similar rank. I also think adding more information would help you get closer to the word count of 500. Currently then information you provided for edits is only 280 words. Look at other congresswoman's pages and note the structure of the article. Create a brief summary on her to start, then add the bio about her personal life, then add information about her career, then go more in depth on campaign finances, support, and possible her stance on legislation. Lastly, remember that most people who read this article don't know who Shelley Adler is. Try to provide specific examples to support claims to avoid sounding bias. Overall great job. I think if the wiki people see a comprehensive article with more information they will accept the article if you choose to submit it again!Katemolly (talk) 16:40, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
