Welcome
[edit]Hello, Jreale1 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 18:14, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Peer Review
[edit]Early Life:
Missing period after third sentence in first paragraph.
Can add her birth date to this section. Maybe even something about the inexactness of it, since it only says 1859 in the lead.
Literary Career:
Add comma after "periodical" in the first paragraph.
In the second sentence of the third paragraph, it says she is "considered by some" but fails to identify who specifically. You could clear this up.
In the first sentence of the fifth paragraph, change "an" to "a."
In the second sentence of the sixth paragraph, there should be commas before and after the novel's title.
In the last sentence of the sixth paragraph, it is unclear as to what sphere Hopkins is being reintroduced to.
The fourth and fifth paragraphs can be in a subsection of their own or moved to the "Published Works" section.
Legacy:
This section reads like the conclusion of some argumentative essay. There are no citations other than a standalone quote at the end to back up anything that is said as fact.
Death:
Can add the date of death.
Overall:
The lead is too concise. I recommend you update it, adding more detail (but not too much) to better reflect the content ahead. All of the content is relevant, clear, and up-to-date. The tone and balance in the "Legacy" section could use some work. The way it's written sounds like the concluding paragraph of an essay, especially so considering the lack of citations in this section. Besides that, bias is not an issue. There is a lack of citations throughout the page. You should use your sources, or some of the ones already present on the page, to add citations, including your large edit in the "Literary Career" section. The sources seem reliable, images were utilized effectively to enhance the page, and the content is organized well. There are no significant grammatical or spelling errors (comments above). Regarding possible future edits, you could expand the "Death" section, further adding events that took place later in her life and following her death. Under the "Published Works" section, you could also give brief overviews of each work; you can start by relocating the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the "Literary Career" section, seeing as they are a brief overview of one of the listed works. Overall, you had good edits and the page looks good.
