User talk:Microbial for loop/sandbox/bosak

Microbial for loop - you've done some really great work on Tanja Bosak's article! It's formatted very clearly and has a logical progression to its sections. Excellent sources too!

I have two pieces of feedback - both of which you are welcome to disregard. 1.) I have would be to consider adding a sentence at the beginning about her most well-known research. This is common in biography ledes. 2.) You may want to move the awards to a different section (especially if she has won more that you didn't mention) or at least a new paragraph, which seems to be a common practice. Great work!

feedback from Elysia
Hi Microbial for loop, mostly some nitpicky things here.

things that can be fixed
 * You don't need a section header for your lead paragraph. If you have it as a section header, it will appear below the table of contents instead of above it like it is supposed to.
 * You can change the section title "Awards and Honors" to "Awards and honors" because section titles are sentence case, not title case (MOS:SECTIONCAPS).
 * Your references should be after punctuation, not before. It's really easy to fix this in visual editor, just click and drag the ref to after the periods/commas/semicolons/whatever (MOS:REFPUNCT).
 * Looks like your references have date value errors? If you scroll down to the references section, you'll see some red error messages. You've most likely configured the date in a format the template doesn't like, so it shows the error message instead of the date. I know it takes dmy format (16 November 2018 for example) as well as some others.
 * You don't have any hyperlinks! Adding hyperlinks is really important for building Wikipedia's knowledge tree. Here's some general Do/Do not policies for linking: MOS:LINKSTYLE. Basically it's good to link relevant topics at their first appearance. You ~generally~ shouldn't link to a topic more than once in an article, but there are a few exceptions (you can link to something from both the lead paragraph and the article body, or from a photo caption and the article body, and a few other exceptions!)

things that I really like
 * excellent, excellent job of providing so many references! I love verifiability!
 * Thank you for correctly italicizing scientific names, it makes my heart happy :)

I think this is ready to go live! I know it may seem like I gave a lot of feedback for things to change but really they are small fixes that shouldn't take long at all! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:43, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi Will and Elysia,

Thanks for the edits! Good catch on the messed up dates. I added a line highlighting what she is most well known for and added many many hyperlinks. I published the page, and there is one more Woman in Red gone blue! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Microbial for loop (talk • contribs) 03:26, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
