Hello, Cmccaid.paul and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 15:11, 11 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Peer Review

edit

Hello! I know I'm sending this late (I thought I successfully posted a peer review, but it seems not to have uploaded before I closed my computer) but I'm hoping my commentary is still helpful. I wrote before about the changes that are and are not yet present in the article. I don't know how accurate your article was before but I see the lead hasn't changed, though I see the lead seems to be very good at describing the article and man.

I do have a questioning of the early life section versus the biography section. Why is biography first? why is his birth in his biography, and not early life? I think maybe these headings could be collapsed into one section or some other reordering. I had mentioned in my initial (not uploaded post) that your change in the image (which was a great choice, the previous one felt almost disrespectful for someone to have chosen an unprofessional image) separated the biography box and the image, but it seems you have already seen and fixed this issue as they are now back together.

The changes that are there are great, productive, and easy to understand and approach. I do feel like more content in general would help, but I understand it may be possible that you have exhausted your resources/articles. great job! Nuch1102 (talk) 00:08, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
