Erin Davis

I've done a major rewrite on this article and would like to work towards getting it elevated to Good Article status. Any advice on what I can do to eventually get it to that point would be very appreciated. --Maelwys 14:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Nice start, but it still needs work. This is my review:

• Fix the lead per WP:LEAD.
  • Done --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• Year of birth? Anything about her family?
  • Had to do some research to find a birthday, but I've now added that and a bit more about her family. --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• I think "Early life" or "Early Yers" are better headings than "Upbringing".
  • Done --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• The picture has no caption. You could also use an infobox.
  • Done --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• No citations in "Upbringing".
  • Added them --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• Last paragraph "Radio career" is uncited. Try to have at least one citation for each paragraph.
  • Cited --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• "Off-air work", "Charity work" and "Home Life" are stubby. Merge or expand.
  • I'll hold off on this one for now, see if I can find a way to expand them, and merge them if I can't. --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• "Davis and Rob, her husband of 18 years, have a 15-year-old daughter, Lauren." Uncyclopedic and not-comprehensive: who is Rob? His full name? Is Davis his name and Erin took it after they got married or not? When did they get married?
  • This one's a bit hard because her husband isn't a public figure and his last name isn't a matter of public record. I've reworded this section to try to make it a bit more comprehensive
• I suggest you turn "Honours and awards" into proper prose.
  • Done --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
• 5 from your 6 citations are from the same magazine. You need a wider range of sources.--Yannismarou 16:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Yeah, unfortunately that magazine was the only local periodical I could find with an expansive archive of old articles posted online. The other ones that I know wrote stories about her all did so several years ago, but only keep a couple weeks of archives online. Thanks for all the advice! --Maelwys 20:31, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
