I saw where you made several inserts in the article on Mary Calkins, Alaina - congratulations on these contributions.Dperkins16 (talk) 17:29, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
That should be enough for a good grade, Alaina, although make sure you cite sources for the details you add. Wikipedia is very strict about having sources for factual information like this.Dperkins16 (talk) 13:38, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
What I Will Change
[edit]In the section of -Early Life- I will add that her parents were Wolcott and Charlotte Whiton Calkins and that she came from a very close-knit family and that it is said that her personal life revolved around them. I will also add that her family moved to Massachusetts because her father, who was a Presbyterian minister got a new job there. I will also add that her father took an active role in overseeing his children's education, and when she graduated high school, he had planned her studies so that she was able to enroll in Smith College. I will also add that when she took a year off due to the death of her sister, she also tutored two of her brothers and studied Greek.
In the section of -Achievements- I will add that in 1908, she was ranked number twelve on a list of top psychologists within the United States.
(As of right now, this is all I have to add to the page, if this is not considered enough for me to receive a good grade, please let me know so that I can research a little more to add to the page. I will also continue looking to see if there is anything else I can contribute to her Wikipedia page. Thanks!)
