Never mind, I figured it out. The Help function in Wikipedia is so awesome! FloyFavorite (talk) 22:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to have a larger thumbnail for the photo, and have it to the right of the text instead of before the text in the section, but I don't know how to do that! This is my first entry from scratch, so I will appreciate suggestions as I await its review!
Thanks,

Hi FloyFavorite, I just accepted your article. Great work, especially for your first time - this is a well-written and interesting article on a notable woman. Sorry you had to wait so long for a review! Just a few pointers:
  • Find-A-Grave isn't considered a reliable source, and generally shouldn't be used; see Wikipedia:External_links/Perennial_websites#Find_a_Grave. I've tagged this source as unreliable.
  • Master's theses aren't considered great sources as they vary widely in quality and amount of editorial oversight. I see that this particular one has been cited in the literature before, which makes it more trustworthy than the average master's thesis, but it would be better to replace it with book sources or peer-reviewed papers where possible.
That's all—again, great work. If you're interested in writing women's biographies you might want to check out WP:WikiProject Women in Red. They have a lot of helpful resources. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 02:43, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
