250 words of what I'm planning to add to the Jessica Helfand page[edit]

First off I would like to add a larger bio of her life. I'm in the process of getting some pictures from Jessica just waiting for her to send them to me. with that I would make a gallery of her works. She has gotten some books published so I will diffidently add them into the page. their about graphic design and cultural criticism. I would address the different people and organizations which Jessica has worked for. Something which can't leave out would be the Winterhouse. I would say that most of the information I'm getting for the page comes from interviews and her blogs. There are some videos which i would like to incorporate into the page but that would be more down the road. A info box with a picture would need to be put in to the page for in to have a more authentic feel to it. There would also have to be a table of content for which would span from her early life to most recent activity or projects. All these things are what I'm planing on adding to Jessica's page.Dalmazo (talk) 12:50, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

Greetings, I have reviewed your article thoroughly and it's well done. I did some minor edits in the usual areas; grammar, spelling and etc.. As a suggestion for the next addition of the article, it's helpful to create new sections within the article. They help break up the article, opposed to have one big mass of paragraphs. For example, your first paragraph is fine where it is, but the rest afterwards should go in a separate section to do so follow this example: (==Section Title==) Like so, minus the parentheses. Aside from that, keep it up! KatanaBeatsPaper (talk) 23:50, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright/self editing[edit]

Dalmazo, you should watch out for the contributions by the user JessicaHelfand for two reasons: 1. it is against WP rules to edit your own entry, and while anyone can create a username, it seems as if this might be Helfand herself, so you should think about the best way to address this. 2. The material that user JessicaHelfand is adding is copyrighted material from elsewhere. For example, her paragraph on Scrapbook comes from [1].--Theredproject (talk) 21:13, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copypaste header[edit]

I put up a Copypaste header on this page. What you need to do is remove the sections added by Jessicahelfand. If you can find suitable sources that you can cite, and can rewrite these sections so they are synthesized from these sources, then you can keep them. This is totally doable for you to correct this. --Theredproject (talk) 19:40, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
