(beginning)

• "playing with the farm's animals" - what farm?

Her father was a buttermaker; clarified.

• two adjacent blue links: diva Ernestine Schumann-Heink - is there a way to separate them?

I've simply delinked diva.

• "cohabited" - lived with? - is there an extra meaning to "cohabited"?

"Lived" is fine with me. -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:29, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Really, this is a wonderful article. I could criticize certain parts (e.g. Goodwin pages 223-224 seems to present a case that Eleanor was not homosexual, or primarily so) but I'm sure that discussion could go on and on. You have presented a concise summary of Hickok's life. Much appreciated!

   Pass!

Great job! MathewTownsend (talk) 23:33, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks both for the review and for your copyedits! I'll take another look at the Goodwin pages and see if I can add a bit more. -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:35, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
