Review

This article has a good start on explaining what the book consist of and a summary of the book. You also have a good number of sources to use. I was impressed by she being married 32 years then getting a divorce. I understand why she is in pain still to this day because that a really long time to be married.

I would first improve by added a book title section to the article. The book is called “Stag Leap” which is a dance terminology and I am curious as to why she named the book “Stag Leap” if the book is about a divorce. I would also, see if she had any personal relations to the book.

The most important change or improvement I would make is only giving a brief summary of each book. Our objective is to tell the background of the book and not some much about the book its-self. You have very smooth way of transitioning which I will try to use in my article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbrown98 (talk • contribs)

• Well, we do need to hear about content--a significant amount, as a matter of fact... Dr Aaij (talk) 02:46, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Content details

I would suggest using this link to find more information about the contents of the book itself: [1]

The author mentions that the makers of Stags' Leap Winery were the inspiration for the title of the book and expresses gratitude towards them for sharing an image from their label. You could also include the amount of poems in the book and explain how each section is divided. I enjoyed the thorough explanation for the inspiration of the book and will probably do the same for my article. C.lasia (talk) 16:45, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

• I agree that we need more discussion/explanation of content. Dr Aaij (talk) 02:46, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
• Jade8068, right now you only have two sources, only one of which can be called a good source. I am surprised, since it took me just a few minutes to find five sources. For a draft, this was fine, and that's how I graded it--but if you want a decent grade for the final version, you will have to write something much more substantial. And content will come from those secondary sources. Dr Aaij (talk) 19:34, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
