Response to your question in Feedback[edit]
Just in case you don't check back there
Thanks for starting in userspace, as you haven't yet met some of the minimum requirements; writing in user space helped avoid the chance it will be deleted before you can address the issues.
One of the important requirements for an article is to establish Notability.
Please take a look at WP:Layout. You've provided some references, but they are not formatted the way references should be formatted here (you obviously know how to do references, but there are some special features here to help readers easily access citatios). See Wikipedia:Citing sources for more information. It isn't a requirement to have online references, but if there are some it would help to establish notability.
Claims such as this: "She is a descendant of Robert Morris, who financed the American Revolution and is one of only two people to sign the three significant founding documents of the United States--the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution." require references.--SPhilbrickT 17:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Brenda Jean Patrick. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:24, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
