Beverly White


I've listed this article for peer review because I hope that I can make this article a Featured Article. This article was recently promoted to GA and I was surprised while originally writing the article. I initially thought that Beverly White would be a short start class article, but I instead found that she was a very active person and deserved far more.

Comments from DanCherek
Nice article overall! If you have time, I also have a peer review open here for what I'm hoping will be my first FAC, and any comments would be appreciated. DanCherek (talk) 16:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You may want to get the signature vectorized as an SVG (the folks at the Graphics Lab may be able to assist) for a cleaner look in the infobox
 * "who would also become involved in politics" → "who also became involved in politics"
 * "Club which she served as president of" doesn't flow very well, can this be reworded?
 * The word "served" is used nine times in the lead, 10 times in the "Politics" section, and more beyond that; it gets a bit repetitive. Replacing many of the "served as" with "was" will help.
 * "she would at times be the only" → "she was at times the only"
 * Remove "the" before "Utah State University"
 * Cal Rampton image caption needs a period at the end since it's a complete sentence
 * Politics section: I mentioned above but most of these sentences are of the form "During the X, she served as Y." Some more variety in sentences would be good!
 * "She would serve in the state house" → "She served in the state house"
 * "required to prevent a primary" — should that be "runoff election"? Obviously there was a primary
 * "who had run a write-in" → "who ran a write-in"
 * "over sixty percent of the popular vote" — I don't think you need to specify "popular" as there is no separate electoral college–like system being run here
 * It would be good to give a little more background about the $50,000 debt controversy
 * "She aided in the creation of a satellite university" and "She aided in the election of Debbie Winn" — possible to be more specific here? What did she actually do?
 * Abortion section — it sounds like she had mixed views on abortion so I would make that more clear in the first sentence.
 * Typo in "Capital punishment" (not Capitol)
 * Want to make sure you saw the above comments. Z1720 (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I am closing this PR as inactive, as the nominator has not responded to the above comments. They are welcome to open a new PR after the above are addressed in the article, if appropriate. Z1720 (talk) 02:44, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
