Peer Review

Hello! This article contains great information about Altadonna but had phrases that I changed to sound more natural. I would suggest restructuring the following in particular for clarity as I was not sure what they were communicating: "With this choice of crowdfunding much of the participation comes from the demands of the audience rather than Altadonna, since the money is coming from fundraising. [8] This film's campaign is what created some of Altadonna acknowledgement to the public. This led to Altadonna becoming such an activist for transgender individuals" Secondly, I am not sure if you should include her deadname (the name she was given at birth)as it could be an invasion of her privacy. I would ask the professor about this though :) Finally, try to reformat your references so repeated sources appear as listed together (ex: 2 and 6 together and adding 4 to 3). Overall you your article is informative and importantly highlights the work of a transgender filmmaker whose work should be acknowledged! It just needs proof reading and reformatting to seem professional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plantdad737 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Second Peer Review

Congratulations on creating a new Wikipedia page and sharing information about Ashley Altdonna with the online community! You have met the criteria of this assignment by writing 500 words about a transgender filmmaker; developing a broad lead paragraph; including “Career”, “Filmography”, and “Reference” sections; incorporating at least three sources; and citing these texts regularly. With this, I believe the article is well done. Here are a few suggestions for further improvement. First, in review of your sources, it is unclear whether they are all independent and reliable. The information from the academic journal, which appears to be peer reviewed, meets Wikipedia guidelines. However, websites such as milwaukeerecord.com and forge-forward.org may be more closely associated to Altdonna and her career which sacrifices some level of independence. With that being said, you did limit statements associated with these sources which affirms your efforts to make this article accurate and neutral. Second, prior to my edits, there were several occasions in which you created new references (and corresponding citation numbers) for reused sources. Rather than adding the same source to your reference list multiple times, there is an option to reuse existing references when utilizing the cite function. If you continue to post and edit on Wikipedia, this will save you time and space. Finally, it would be beneficial for readers if you expanded on Altdonna’s contributions to Trans/Love: Radical Sex, Love & Relationships Beyond the Gender Binary. Specifying the page numbers you referenced in this book would also help editors confirm it’s relevance, reliability, and independence. Overall, this article acts as a foundation for future expansion. It is well organized and there is informative content in each section. I hope you enjoyed learning about this filmmaker and introducing her to a wide audience!
