Hi, I went ahead and re-organized the page on Margarete Steiff. Previously, there was only one longer paragraph titled "Biography". I divided the entry into the sections "Childhood", "Entrepreneurship", "The First Teddy Baer", "Death", and "Legacy". The reason for this was to synthesize her role and contribution to the history of female entrepreneurs and inventor as she is a frequently cited example in the Ferman literature on this topic.
I also added several sources and citations (including to claims that were missing citations before). Some of these sources are in German, however, they did appear to have more information about Margarete Steiff than most English translations.
The brief background about the Teddy Bear was included because is by far the most impactful and wide-spread invention of Margarete Steiff and her company. Roosevelt's page is now a hyperlink to the corresponding Wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maike996 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 6 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
