Things to work on for your Week 9 continued edits:

 * Sandbox: You are supposed to have a sandbox that has the title of the article you are editing in the URL (see video I posted on how to do that or set up a meeting with me). You should move all of your edits thus far and moving forward to that sandbox with the proper URL/title.
 * Evaluate an article: Go back to your article evaluation and pull out the list of things you said you could improve on the existing article. Put that list in the talk page for the Sandbox that includes all of your edits and cross things off as you do them (you can also edit what I have said on this talk page and cross things off as you complete them).
 * Copyedits: When you move those to the new sandbox, publish each with explicit notes on what you changed from the original Wikipedia article. That way when you migrate your work to live Wikipedia you will be able to publish and explain each change as you go. Doing so is a required part of the Week 13 Wikipedia assignment. You should also go through and see what other copyedits you can make to the exisitng article as what you did for that exercise (which was enough for exercise) was just a brief section.
 * Bibliography: You need to find sources that are not just published bio pages. As I've mentioned before, a good place to look is published reviews of Brooke Gladstone's work (such as reviews of her books published in academic journals). Kristina DeVoe or I can help guide you, but you need to set up a time to talk with one of us.
 * Citing sources: You did this assignment, but the first citation (which I think is the one you added) is not formatted correctly. In general you need to add more cited content, and make sure it is clear where in the existing article those additions will go.
 * Adding media/hyperlinks: Good hyperlinks, but when you publish those edits you need to include what specifically you hyperlinked. You should go through and see if there are things that should be hyperlinks in whatever you add and the existing article. The image you added is fine, but be sure before you add media to the live Wikipedia article that it is actually necessary or contributes to the article (that is, you had to do it for this assignment, but in your final Wikipedia contributions don't add it just to add it).
 * Overall: You seem to be doing things week by week, but now you really need to focus on the bigger picture of what you plan to add/edit here. Is there more in the existing article that needs copyediting? More citations you can use to expand on the sections you are working on? The more planning you can do now the easier it will be for you to chip away at those edits between now and November 22 when you need to move your final edits to live Wikipedia.
