What I plan to contribute to "Flora Dunlap" wiki article: As you may have seen, Flora Dunlaps article is full of minimal information. All it says is that she is a friend of Jane Addams and that she helped with womens suffrageand headed the settlement house. I would like to provide a more detailed look into her life. I want to start with her personal details, such as family, where she grew up, where she attended school, etc. I feel that details like this help build up her profile, make you better understand how and why she got involved with the political matters that she did. After that, then i intend to proceed onto talking about her political career. There is little mention of that in the article. I want to talk about her work with Iowa Equal Suffrage Association, IESA (she was the president) and get into more depth about how she headed the roadside house. The info that is on the page is currently not cited (other than the two sentences I added, so that will need to be fixed). I want to hopefully link her page with the articles about the roadside home and the IESA. I am unable to comment on the articles talk page, when it is clicked on, it brings me to a page talking about how this stub was a project involved in the "wikiproject iowa" and if I want to join the discussion I have to go there. Upon going to that page there is a giant list of things "to do" that Wikipedia feels needs to be improved about all pages related to Iowa, however nothing about Flora Dunlap appears anywhere on that page or the links related to that page so I'm really just not sure where to go? There is nowhere for me to comment about Flora so I'm not sure what to do about that aspect of it. However, no authors have reached out to me upon editing the article so I think that I have a lot of room to make some positive changes and I think I can make this article really great! I can get a lot of my information from a single article but have included a few so as to make the article more credible (a website and two textbooks)
