Substantial revision[edit]

I have been researching and working to improve this entry for my Women's History class. While writing my rough drafts, I found that it would be difficult to wedge all my new information into the previous entry due to the amount of information and that I am new to writing and editing Wiki articles. Also, I tried to improve the flow and organization of the article by adding new categories. Soon, I'll be adding a timeline (dates and places) of Annie's trip, a few further readings, and some "See Also" tags. Don't hesitate to let me know if there are any issues or if I've made any mistakes. Mef4232 (talk) 17:12, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well done! Your additions have improved this article substantially. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 12:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I just added Annie trip timeline, another Further Reading, and a few See Also tags. Mef4232 (talk) 20:07, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your energy is much appreciated. A few ideas to improve the article:
  1. Images - can you find publicity stills from the current works? Or illustrations of the sort of bicycle and clothing she used?
  2. Timeline - I'm not sure it adds that much, really. It just seems to swamp the article.
  3. See also - see WP:ALSO for suggested glosses
  4. Place names - see WP:OVERLINK. How likely is it that a reader will click on e.g. Singapore? I spent time cleaning up a couple of sections, but more needs to be done.

Latvian[edit]

It is a bit far-fetched to call Annie Cohen Kopchovsky for Latvian. At the time (1870-1875) Latvia was not a state, Latvians were an ethnicity/nation living on soil governed by other nations. Kopchovsky is a Russian or Polish surname. Cohen is Jewish and her parents were most likely Russian citizens. It would be more correct to call Annie a Russian Jew from Riga, which now is in Latvia.
