Peer Review
Hey Madelynn! You and Morgan are doing an awesome job with your article thus far. You've added a lot of biographical information about Foote that provides insight into her childhood and advocacy which is great. I think the sections are well organized, and you provide neutral content with reliable sources. I am curious to know more about Foote's autobiography "A Brand Plucked from the Fire: An Autobiographical Sketch," so it might be useful to create a section highlighting the main points in that work. I also see that you have started a section for the AME Zion church, so I'm interested to see her work there and more detail about her accomplishments. Other than that, I don't have much else to say other than great job! SonnieMunroe (talk) 16:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Peer-Review -- Suggestions
As someone who did not know much about Foote, I really enjoyed reading the information you added to her article. I especially liked that you kept your details concise and neutral. I would, however, advise checking to see if you can efficiently combine your “Early Life” section with the “Biography” section that precedes it. While your “Early life” section adds information that was not in the preceding “Biography” section, the former seems to repeat some of the information already discussed in the latter. Besides that, I think you did a fantastic job.

Peer Review Good morning editors,

I think the Wiki page for Julia Foote is very informative thus far. I have simple suggestions that I hope you find useful. In the biography, you wrote that Foote was born to parents who were former slaves. It is referenced again in the next section, Early Life, which I do not think is necessary, but a little redundant. The context in the second section tells the stories of her mom and her dad as slaves, which is enough.

In the Early Life section, you explained that Foote eventually had to leave the Prime family. Instead of writing "she had to leave so that she could watch her siblings," I would write "she left so that she could..." to make statements more concise.

In the marriage section, one of the sentences were worded sort of awkward and can be confused by the reader. "However, her husband’s expostulations did not stop her from pursuing what she believed was God’s calling for her to preach." I understand what the sentence is saying but I think it should be worded differently to flow better with the section.

I think the Biography section is great and informative on the highlights of her life. Great job! Destinyetienne (talk) 17:38, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
