Strengths and Weaknesses of Article[edit]

Your article is very informative. The lead section and the career section are especially well put together. They flow nicely. You have a good reference list and your filmography table is well organized. I only have a few minor suggestions for you to improve your article. In your lead you refer to Stikeman's work as directing, producing and editing 'powerful' films. Later on in the career section you call her films controversial and influential. Although both statements are true, neither have a citation, and without a citation referring the comment back to a source, your article may be perceived as containing bias. On week 4 of the instructions on the timeline page, it says a 'biography' headline is mandatory. To ensure you don't lose marks it might be a good idea to create a biography heading, and then include 'background' and 'career' as subheadings under biography. The last suggestion i have is that if you mention the term queer, it might be a good idea to explain the term fully, just because there are various connotations to the word.

Peer Review for Ginny Stikeman[edit]

The article does a good job of introducing the director and her most well-known films in the lead paragraph. The following paragraphs are also very informative and cover all aspects of Stikeman's career. However, I have a few suggestions to make. In the first sentence, I removed the word 'powerful' because it sounds biased since there is no proof that her films were indeed powerful. Also, in the paragraph that talks about Studio D, I changed the verb from 'determined' to 'who wanted to make changes' because we can't know for sure that those filmmakers were indeed determined unless they said it themselves. Also, the structures of some sentences were confusing and I didn't completely understand the meaning of them. For example, when you say "Stikeman was an advocate for both women’s rights and the LGBTQ community represented in the film industry", do you mean that those issues are ones that films tackle? I think rewording this sentence would make it more understandable. I also changed the heading 'Background' to 'Biography' since it was suggested on the Wiki dashboard. Overall, except for those minor details, I thought it was a great article that provided a lot of information on the director! Narcodep999 (talk) 02:42, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
