Peer Review

The intro sentence is a little awkward. Maybe try: "Louisa Picquet (c. 1829, Columbia, South Carolina – August 11, 1896, New Richmond, Ohio) was an African American born in slavery. Her narrative Louisa Picquet, Octoroon was published in 1861."

The lead could be expanded upon to include her buying her mother out of slavery and a brief overview of the sections. The content you added was relevant. Great work!

In the Slave Narrative section, it would be nice to include details about how involved Picquet was in creating the narrative. Hiram Mattison wrote it, but do we know anything about their collaboration process?

Good job removing uncited information. JanellePuckering (talk) 19:41, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think your lead is great, it addresses most of the issues in the guiding question.The content you added overall is very good, you made a ton of headings. Looking at your content specifically, if I had to change one thing I think the content on Henry in the article is interesting but I think some of it may be able to be cut due to it not being specifically about her. E.g the details of his hernia (it’s really preference though). Good edits, you definitely improved the article from what it is before. I think adding under the photo (frontispiece) in your article one of those personal details sections (see frederick douglas’s wikipedia page) would add a lot to the article.

On readability the article reads like a standard wikipedia article and you kept it neutral so good job on that. You use your sources well and utilized all of them in creating your article. I think on the last section 1/8 can be corrected to 1/8th.

Overall good job, I’m sure you have other changes planned that will improve your article but these are just some suggestions that I think could help. Joerogansavedmylife (talk) 18:19, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
