The Critical Librarian's Peer Review
Hi Micjoyrob,

To start off - if you haven't been to The Chazen to see Cavener Stichter's L'Amante, then I highly recommend doing so!

I read your sandbox with information intended for Beth Cavener Stichter's Wikipedia article, and compared it to the original Wikipedia article. I am unsure exactly what you are planning on leaving or keeping from the original article. Are you replacing the whole intro, but leaving all of the other information? It seemed as if there was some information deleted from the original intro, but I was unsure why you made the cuts that were properly cited in the original article. My main feedback is: I don't understand what portions you are updating.

I do like that you seemed to add some basic bibliographic information about her into the lead section, including her apprenticeships and residencies. It looks like you copied items from the original Biography section and added it to the introduction (the information about Studio 740 for example). While I think it is wise to add this type of information to the introduction, you will need to reword the information in your own words to avoid plagiarism and redundancy in the article. I would even consider a new paragraph for this type of information if you are adding it to the lead.

As a training refresher, I'm including some language about what should be copied into and out of a sandbox. You seem to have copied the whole article into your sandbox, including images, which appeared as text throughout the article. I would be careful on what I replaced on the original, only adding what you wrote yourself, not replacing what other people have contributed with their own words, but from your sandbox.

Good luck and have fun with the remaining editing. -The Critical Librarian

The following two quotes are from:[|sandbox training]

"If you're editing an existing article, a sandbox can be a good place to prepare your first updates by copying a small portion of the article that you want to change or extend. Do not try to overhaul an entire article from the sandbox.

Open the original article in Edit mode. (References and other templates will break if you copy from Read mode.) Select the portion you want to work on — a few paragraphs at most — and copy it."

"Only copy content you actually updated back into the main article. If you copied sections of the article into your sandbox that you made no changes to, do not copy the unmodified sections back into the live version of the article."

Hey The Critical Librarian,

Maybe I didn't make it clear that I was taking some of what the previous author said and lightly editing. At the point when you saw the article I had not begun writing my own material yet. Now I have done that.

I know we were not supposed to haul the whole article, but it didn't make sense to me to only put phrases or sentences I would edit in the sandbox. My process was to edit was existed first, then add my own materials, and I found this process very helpful.

The article is now live, if you would like to take a look. I made a lot of changes in the process of transferring information over, and didn't necessarily denote those changes in my sandbox, so I would look to the actual article as the finished product.
