Hi Mshemberger, offering you some feedback on the content you've written and the article as a whole:
I think the Biography section should be retitled "Early life and education". The whole article is her biography, not just that section.
Per Wikipedia policies, the subject of a biography should be referred to by their surname throughout the article. Use of a first name confers "familiarity" with the subject, and it is considered more encyclopedic to use the surname.
For the paragraph containing the sentence She pursued two of the careers acceptable for a single woman in her era, teaching school and writing sentimental poetry, the only citation listed is the one at the end. However, there's nothing in the citation that supports the statement that these two careers were some of the only acceptable for single women at the time. Another source should be found and added or this sentence can be removed.
This could be rewritten as prose or moved See also her 1892 article, Why Democratic Women Want the Ballot published under the pseudonym, "A Kentucky Woman" for The National Bulletin in 1892.. Perhaps something like, Her 1892 article, Why Democratic Women Want the Ballot, shows.... Or the link to "Why Democratic Women Want the Ballot" could be moved to the External links section after the references and removed from this part.
It's good practice to define initialisms/acronyms at first use (KERA)
In literary circles, Lida was known by her pseudo name should be pen name for specificity, you think?
No citations for the last few sentences in the first paragraph of the Aunt Jane section
Great job expanding this article! I thought the layout was easy to follow and logical. You did a nice job of adding reliable citations to support the content you added. Let me know if you have questions about any of this feedback! Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 04:27, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
