Peer Edit

Within your lead section, it seems as if you are stating facts about Alice Allison Dunnigan that read as if you are trying to make her relevant. WIth each statement, you are not explainnig why certain accolades are important, although you want us to know she is of importance. Reading, it comes off as a list of accolades.

Some thoughts on the Alice Allison Dunnigan article

After reading through Ms. Dunnigan's article, there are a few things of note I feel should be considered in future iterations of the article. First, I believe the previous commenter is correct in that the lead section needs work; it does read like a list of accomplishments, which in hindsight would be alright if the following two paragraphs on the content of her work received equal attention. Furthermore, I believe the page would benefit from more sections for an easier flow when reading. Finally, I question the tone and the citations - for someone so recent to history, I would think there are more reliable sources to be found. Plus, it seems as though certain claims in the text i.e. regarding how she felt towards experiences at varying points in her life could benefit from an added citation.
