Wikipedia:Peer review/Margaret Abbott/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've listed this article for peer review because I wish to take this to FAC. It is a relatively short, but comprehensive article. Little is known about this amazing woman with extraordinary achievement of being the first American woman to win an Olympics event! Feel free to comment prose, MOS, sources, etc. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 03:33, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from EW

[edit]

This looks to be in good shape; a few comments below.

I may have a few more comments later, but there's not much for me to nitpick here: it's a fascinating and well-written article about a fascinating person. I doubt you'll encounter any serious issues at FAC; ping me once you get there. Cheers! Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:03, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Extraordinary Writ: Thanks for the comments. I have tried to address them. Feel free to let me know of any other points. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 11:08, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Gerda

[edit]

I'll comment as I read, lead last. It seems too short, - she had a life beyonds sports ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:18, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and TOC

  • fine, but I am not sure we need the full name differing in only 4 character, nor 4 lines for the different sources?
    • Well, the MOS requires full name to be repeated in the lead, first mention in the prose, and the "full name" section of i-box. I'm afraid I can't understand what you mean by "4 lines for the different sources". Can you please help? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:20, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

Paris Olympics

That's all. Quite short but what can do if we don't know more? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:40, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, Gerda! Much helpful comments! I too which we had more information about this remarkable woman, but history is not fair to all, I'd say. We would have various full length biographies on her if people knew (in 1900) that she was the first American woman to win gold at Olympics. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:23, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome. Best wishes for FAC, it's ready. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:30, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
