Talk:The Evanston College for Ladies

Hi team,

Very good work so far! I love the pictures, and I think your overall organization and story look good! I'm also super impressed by the research you did, and the sources that you found.

Here are a few pointers:

1. You don't need the first header - you can just put that summary info at the top of the page (look at other WP articles as an example)
2. Make sure that your headers are all how you want them. For example, it seems like '= Outcome =' should probably be '== Outcome =='
3. Speaking of the Outcome header, I'd try to make it more descriptive - something like "Absorption by Northwestern University"
4. I think the "Leadership" section could all be combined into a few paragraphs

You may also want to "Get Help" from Ian, our content expert, who will be able to give you some more pointers.

Overall, great work!

@Woottie44 and Afmccaffrey: To cite archives, use Template:Cite archive. There are details on that page and a possibly more user-friendly version at Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Cultural_Professionals#The_template_just_for_archives_and_archivists. If you're using the VisualEditors, go to the Insert menu and select Template from the drop-down, then enter Cite archive. You'll need to click on "Add more information" to access all the fields.

Beyond that, it looks good. You need to try to add more information to your citations - select "Cite news" and fill in as much information as you can. Citations go after punctuation, not before. Section headers use sentence capitalization, not title capitalization; only the first word of the title, and proper nouns, should be capitalized. And you should try to add more links to other Wikipedia articles. But it looks pretty good. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:26, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Ian! We'll work on making these changes before we publish. Afmccaffrey (talk) 02:06, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
