Restored content

I restored the article. There really wasn't much to it aside from rudimentary biographical content, and two cites for prizes that were added by me in the past. I did remove a few bits of information on her ancestry and birth date that were from answers.com, so if someone can reference those with a good source I have no objection to their reintroduction.

Copyright problem

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

New Suggestions for Awards section

In reviewing this article for class, I noticed a few potential edits that could be made. The majority of the information listed in the "Awards" section is in need of references. Furthermore, this section does not include Lin's most recent award, the 2022 Children's Literature Legacy Award. Thy762 (talk) 14:01, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Education assignment: WRIT 015- Writing for Others

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 13 January 2022 and 14 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Thy762 (article contribs).

Plan for Future Edits

I am planning on making some changes to this article in the coming weeks. First, I plan on splitting up the biography section into early life, education, personal life, and career sections, to more closely match Wikipedia’s recommendation for biographical articles. Within the career section, I also plan on adding information about Lin’s overall writing and art style seen throughout her works. Second, I plan on rewriting the awards section into paragraph form, as currently, it is only in list form, reading more like a resume than a biography. I may also add a reception subsection, in which I will talk about Lin’s significance as a writer according to existing literary reviews. I plan on referencing the sources listed in the bibliography linked here. ^[1]Thy762 (talk) 12:32, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
