Hello!

Hi, Britogissel -- welcome to Wikipedia! As Ian mentioned, the Teahouse is a great resource for new editors. But did you know that Wikipedia also has an extensive help library for common questions? Of course, if you run into a question or problem, you're always welcome to get in touch with me either by email or on my talk page. Happy editing! Fraudoktorkatie (talk) 14:29, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Choosing An Article

Hello Britogissel,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Choosing An Article for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. MB298 (talk) 00:39, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Peer Review

Gissel,

I really enjoyed reading your rough draft, and I thought it was really well-thought out and researched. First, I really liked your edited article lead that you wrote. I thought it was way more detailed and better at introducing the topic than the one that the article previously had. For me, someone that had no idea what the topic was exactly, it helped me to understand what I was reading and I thought it was a great introduction.

One suggestion that I might have is in the section called “photographing the dead” instead of saying “according to old newspapers” maybe try to say something along the lines of “from the lack of post-mortem photographers in old newspapers”. Just saying “old newspapers”, in general, it sounds a little vague to me.

Other than that, I didn’t really see anything that I would change about your additions to the article. I thought you did a really good job!

Peer Review

Hello!

I really enjoyed reading your first draft. I think your edits contained a lot of good information that was relevant to your topic. While you have a good number of citations, there are a few sections at the bottom that don't contain any citations at all, so I would maybe consider adding some in those. In your photographing the dead section, I think you are missing the word "century" after ninteenth and twentieth. Other than that, you did a great job maintaining a neutral tone throughout your draft and staying within the five pillars of wikipedia! AudreyMMull (talk) 23:48, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
