[edit]Hi. Can you explain what you mean when you said that you needed help adding your film maker? I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you mean drafting your contribution, I recommend completing the drafting in your sandbox training module that's assigned for you to do next week. If you mean assigning yourself an article to work on, go to the home page for your course on the Dashboard and click on the "Assign myself an article" button on the top of the page.

- Hi Willard1996! If you're looking at content to add to the article, a good option would be to see how articles on other directors are set up - in most cases filmmaker articles tend to have the same sections, such as a list of their films, information about their early life and schooling, and so on.

[edit]Minor revisions needed.
- A good start, well-written overall.
- Ensure that all your factual claims are cited: typically one citation per sentence is required.
- General editing: double-check for spelling, grammatical errors, and sentence fragments, i.e. "Depicting a world where the central characters of her films struggled to survive against harsh natural elements."
- Ensure that your article uses Wikipedia's standard headers and formats. As a reference, take a look at well-established wikipedia articles (such as Alfred Hitchcock, for example)

Peer review:
You have a good start to your article from what i have read. You seemed to have obtained a great amount of information about the filmmaker and their work. The content you have on the main space has the potential to be incredibly educational for wiki users researching your film maker. In order to ensure the notability of your work you should ensure your work is properly cited especially any facts or claims that are presented. there are a few small grammatical changes that can be made i.e ensuring that spacing between words is correct and punctuation. Overall your article has great potential! good luck with your final edits. Privacy1548 (talk) 16:15, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
Notes
[edit]Hi! I have some notes:
Be careful about attribution. You want to make sure that anything that could be seen as an opinion or a claim is attributed to the person making the claim. I'm mostly concerned with this when it comes to the section about gender. Without attribution this really comes across strongly as original research - that is, something that you came up with yourself as opposed to summarizing what has been explicitly stated in the source material.
This also needs more sourcing to help back up claims. I think notability is pretty well established by the sourcing you have, but there's still a need for more sourcing.
I've done some formatting to the article so that it will be easier for you to copy the material over. I think you have a good base here - this just needs more editing and tweaking. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:58, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
