[edit]

Paragraph 1

[edit]
  • Insert a comma after "In 1934".

Early life and family

[edit]

Paragraph 1

[edit]
  • Insert a comma after "In 1912".

Paragraph 2

[edit]
  • Omit "extensively" in the first sentence; it seems unnecessary.
  • Insert a comma after "In 1923".

Paragraph 3

[edit]
  • Replace "when she noted a" with "where she noted a".
  • Insert a comma after "in 1939".

Anti-communism

[edit]

Paragraph 1

[edit]
  • Replace "she encountered, on her" with "she encountered upon her".
  • Replace "on her doctor's advice" with "following her doctor's advice".
  • Maybe break up the last sentence; it's a little lengthy. Or at some semi-colons rather than the excessive commas.

Paragraph 2

[edit]
  • Insert a comma after "In 1932".
  • Replace "organisation" with "organization".
  • Reword the first sentence somehow; it's a little disorganized.

Paragraph 4

[edit]
  • Replace "The book had been" with "The book has been".
  • Replace "and sold more than" with "and has sold more than".
I rearranged it slightly.zzz (talk) 11:28, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 7

[edit]
  • Insert a comma after "In 1938".

Isolationism

[edit]

Paragraph 2

[edit]
  • "It was the base of the isolationist America First Committee found in September 1940, which by 1941 had 850,000 members, and influential far-right activists Father Charles E. Coughlin, Reverend Gerald L. K. Smith and Lyrl Clark Van Hyning." could be reworded. It's just cluttered and hard to read.

Paragraph 3

[edit]
  • "7 March" ? Turn it around to March 7.

Paragraph 4

[edit]
  • Replace "in December 1941" with "on December 1941".

Paragraph 5

[edit]
  • Insert commas before and after "convened in 1941 to investigate fascist propaganda".
  • Weird date: "21 July 1942" - turn it around.
  • Another weird date: "4 January 1944".
  • And another: "3 January 1944".
  • And again: "29 November 1944".
  • There's a lot of turned around dates; please fix them.
  • Insert a comma following "in 1954".
