The woman you chose sounds super important and influential. Overall, your article is strong and has really good content. I think once you find a bit more information on her, it will be an even stronger article.

In the section on early life, I think that you could use some links to help with credibility. I would link to the University she went to and the sorority that she was a part of. The sentence in the career section that deals with her changing her name is kind of wordy. I would consider revising it. Also, the phrase speaking to audiences is weird.

How did she meet Eleanor Roosevelt and John F Kennedy?

For the citations, I think that they need to have a heading of their own. So I would create a section for them.

Good job overall! Epchdc (talk) 17:11, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

When you said "Charles HIckey, who lives in Paris, France at the time..." when do you mean when you say "at the time"? When did he live there?

I suggest saying "After making the transition back to the US" instead of "that transition" because I think it might sound better.

Do you have any idea what types of reading her father introduced her to?

What exactly did Elizabeth Wynne do to include her children in on the work she was doing for the suffrage movement? Could you specify that?

Do you know what Margaret did when she worked for the peace movement?

What kind of reporter was Margaret when she dropped out of college?

Do you know the names of any of the influential business women she worked with? They might have wikipedia pages you could link to in your page.

These are all just prompts for you to find information to add to your early life paragraph, only if you want to of course.

I will elaborate on those questions Claire presented. To do so, I will expand my research and obtain more sources. I can’t necessarily answer all of the questions, such as the types of reading her father exposed her to. There is some information I left out on her early life section because I wanted my first draft to be primarily information that emphasizes Margaret Hickey’s importance. I will also add a citations heading and section. The questions which I will analyze in depth are the ones about her affiliation with Eleanor Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, how Hickey was active in suffrage movements as a young woman, as well as the people she worked with in the National Federation of Business and Professional Women.

Feedback from Prof. P

So glad to see this article created where there was none previously. Good. Your "Early Life" and "Career" sections have a lot of places to add links to other Wikipedia articles for events, groups, and individuals. You'll need to add these. Also update these sections to add dates to when she did things in addition to her age at the time. Where did she go to college that she dropped out from? Do we have any of the articles that she wrote for the Kansas City Star that could be added as images to this page? This article is also still an orphan. Lets edit a few other Wikipedia.org pages to link them to her. The E. Roland Harriman page would be a good place to start, especially because she worked for him for so long. Let's see this page stabilize before December 2016! Excellent work with the many and diverse source cited here. I'd like to see an edit in the lead section too that mentioned that she was from/worked in Missouri for most of her life. MeganPeiser (talk) 20:40, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
