Reusing a reference: use

As for content, it is important to mention in the first sentence that Lily was made poet laureate of Arkansas in 1971.

Where it is written "Unfortunately, 5 of her siblings have passed away in childhood", that is not in Wikipedia's house style. "Unfortunately" counts as an editorial comment, and should be omitted. "Passed away" is a common euphemism, but Wikipedia just says "died".

Most of the redlinks should probably be omitted. For her parents, unless they were notable people in their own right, there is no need for a potential link.

There are references from Google Books, for example:

 * Thank you very much for the feedback and the references from Google Books. I have updated the page, reduced the redlinks, added more sources, information and changed a few mistakes. Deleted the editorial comment changed "passed away" to "died". Hope it is better, however I have one question. As I could not find any more information which would not repeat itself, is the content in the sandbox enough?

 * I think it could do with further rewriting. For example the material starting "Furthermore, she wrote 4 books of poetry, ..." should be put in a separate section with heading poetry. The book titles should be given in italics, and normal style is to say "four books", not "4 books".


 * Also I saw details about the farms, and it would be helpful for the article if those were added. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:17, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
