[edit]Hello, Courtneyduval and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! GABgab 17:07, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Susan Louis Marsh
[edit]Great job on the article, I liked that you added a picture of her as well as of her book. Here are a few suggestions for editing: The section early life seems to just contain immediate family relations. Is there any more information about her childhood that could be added? If not, I would like to suggest maybe changing the section heading title to something like "Family". Is there a page for Alroy Phillips that could be linked to your page? Other suggestions to link pages/stub ideas: Marsh Guardianship Law, Douglas Oliver, Daughters of the American Revolution, literary works. Under political involvement, is it possible to expand on how they met/their relationship? Were you able to find any information on if she was involved in any other political activities? After the law passed, was she ever recognized for her role in getting it passed during her lifetime? Did she had a career outside her political involvement? If it was writing books, were you able to find out how she became involved in that? Was she ever educated? (maybe this stuff could go into early life if so?) Just a few random thoughts to help if you were aiming to add to content :) Great article, she seems like quite a determined lady! Mnsvyc (talk) 17:10, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Lovejoy High School (Lucas, Texas). I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:
|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]
Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:
|image=SomeImage.jpg.
There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!
