Peer Review
The four sections are well broken up, and I like that you included "legacy" at the end. The spelling of Morrison changes throughout the article (between Morrison and Morrisson), so just check and make sure it is spelled the same. The picture you included is also a great way to see her and know what she looked like. In Career section, be careful of words like "women's political advancement", "earliest", and "helped improve" just to avoid writing about her in a subjective light. I just worry that they are not completely factual and hint at the fact that she had an incredible career. It was hard to make that distinction for sure. Make sure there are periods at the end of all sentences. I really like that you included the quote from Ted Holmes. In the Honors and Awards section, break up the one sentence into a couple of sentences. Even if you just start the next sentence saying she was also awarded...That way it is not just one long sentence listing her awards and honors. In the Legacy section mention where Groton is located, just in Connecticut. I really like that section! And all of your sources are awesome. There are so many! Very well done for starting your own page. The setup looks really great.

Mary Foulke Morrisson
Hello, I've looked into the page move problem you had with the article Mary Foulke Morrisson. You were unable to move your sandbox to that location because you already created an article with that title on September 22. You can only move your sandbox directly to an article if there isn't already an article with that title. I've manually moved your sandbox draft and asked an administrator to merge the edit histories of the article and your sandbox. If you plan on working on an article in your sandbox, it's a good idea to make all your edits there first and not work on a live article and a sandbox draft at the same time. Please let me know if you have any questions. Rob (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:18, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
