Things to improve[edit]

Add a header to the article also try to add some things about what they did. Add like research why they should have Wikipedia page, big things they did. Also try to find more sources then just one, plus the more sources you find the more information that you will gather to add to plus create more paragraphs. Ashkupka (talk) 16:57, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements[edit]

I would add some background information about who they are and what their intentions are. Add more information about what they do and why they do what they do.MaM4213 (talk) 14:00, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life[edit]

I think there is some room for improvement in this area of your Wiki article. There is still time so there is no need to panic, but I would look into adding to this section.Wciupa (talk) 16:30, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit]

I would provide more information in the lead to explain more about what this page is going to be about. You are on the right track with organization. I would maybe add more outside references. MaM4213 (talk) 16:39, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit]

You really need an introductory paragraph that will tie the entire article together. I like the organization so far but each paragraph still needs work and more information should be added to all of them. The tone so far is neutral so keep that up, also try to include on image of what she looks like. Continue to add more citations and sources to improve the strength of your article. Ashkupka (talk) 16:52, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit[edit]

I added a wikilink for Mar's Exploration Program so that the reader could find more information about what it is. MaM4213 (talk) 13:37, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

Hi! I think the article looks great so far. If you could get an image that would be really helpful just to visually aid the piece. The article stands out a lot in terms of organization and the tone is very neutral. You could try to include a bio/introductory section if possible, and maybe try to add in more references/citations! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taylorkeefer (talk • contribs) 21:18, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review[edit]

Hi Meghan,

I just have some quick feedback on your article about Lisa M. Pratt.

I think the article has good structure, it just needs to be fleshed out. The section that needs work and more information/background/sources especially is the biography on Lisa Pratt. Currently the biography is one sentence, I think this can be way more developed. Another section that needs work is her scientific contributions (NASA, other projects, etc). Her awards section looks good.

Overall, since the assignment is to edit a page about a women/person of color in STEM, I would suggest focusing more on building Lisa Pratt's background, education, and scientific achievements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riuliano (talk • contribs) 07:25, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review Response[edit]

Edit[edit]

Changed when to where in the first body paragraph to make it sound better. Went from "when she earned..." to "where she earned" because it was talking about the university she went to before that part of the sentence.Ashkupka (talk) 19:04, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for the Page[edit]

Hi everyone who is editing this article! When I was searching for an article on Lisa Pratt, I was unable to find this one for a little while because of the "M." included in the title. Does anyone have any intel regarding why it was added in the first place? I am hoping to change the title to Lisa Pratt so that it is more easily accessible.
