Plan for Improvement edit

Latest comment: 10 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

When I start on a biography or piece of women's history, I like to leave my thoughts and intentions on the Talk page. It's a way for myself and others to see what I have planned, as I may be working on and off on a page for some time.

Betty Snowball:

Separate the page into readable sections (complete)
Some actual sources

– Her cricinfo is a good start but it's not enough for a full biography

– Find actual books and biographical sources

– Add a proper obituary, if it can be found

Rewrite the new sections with the new material
