Widow's succession in the US article

Hi @Jrugumayo:, Great job on starting the article on Widow's succession in the US article. You're doing a good job with the neutral, fact based tone but are lacking inline citations. Before the work moves to mainspace, keep in mind, every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single reference after all of them, but you need to have at least one reference per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final reference in a paragraph. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Happy editing!

Peer Review

Well done! I found the topic very interesting, and I bet all the other wiki users would also be excited to read about this topic. The article discusses the historical context of widow’s succession and how it has evolved over time, along with the legal framework governing the practice in different states. I like the way you used examples to describe key points, and this helped me a lot to relate to the topic. However, the article can be improved by providing more citations and references to support the information presented. Additional sources would strengthen the overall credibility of the article. Also, I think the article can include other interesting subtopics too. Currently, it mostly focuses on widow’s succession in the United States, but I was wondering how the practices in other countries are. By expanding the coverage of the topic, I think the article can be more informative. Overall, the article is well developed and provides good foundation for anyone who might encounter to this article. But I think it has more possibilities to provide more analysis in-depth.

Peer Review

• What is the article's overall status?

Great job! Overall, the article is very interesting and provides important historical information about women in politics. I think more work could be done to fully flesh out the piece and the organizational structure of the piece could be improved.

• What are the article's strengths?

This article helps contribute important historical information to an overlooked topic. The information highlights female figures in politics that are integral to a larger narrative of women’s representation in the political sphere.

• How can the article be improved?

I think the use of sections could be used to help break up information in a more digestible way. I also think there needs to be more context of the role of widow’s succession in the U.S. and female representation in United States politics more broadly. This article is also lacking in non-Wikipedia sources which I think could help create a stronger overarching narrative through the article. It could also be interesting to include comparative information in terms of how the practice of widow’s succession compares to other countries (used more or less and in what context and time period)

This could be helpful historical info: https://capitolhistory.org/capitol-history-blog/widows-succession-how-women-first-gained-a-foothold-in-congress/

• How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

I think the information presented is great, but I definitely think more discussion of the role of widow’s succession in women’s political representation is necessary to create a narrative around the examples you have provided.

Widow's succession in the US feedback

Hi @Jrugumayo,

Nice job with the article on Widow's succession in the US. I am happy to see you took my feedback on inline citations and actually implemented it. Well done.

Some notes on the lead section: The lead section should be less of an introduction and more of a succinct summary of the article. Your opening sentence needs to tell your readers, as directly as possible, what the topic of the article is. It should generally open with something like Article title is... and go on to succinctly say what the topic is in the opening sentence. The remainder of the lead should summarize all the major points of the article in a paragraph or two. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

@Justlettersandnumbers Did you mean to include additional text or feedback?

Justlettersandnumbers Apologies this escalated to a block. I have contacted the instructor and the student @Jrugumayo discussing the inappropiate behavior.
