Substantial revision

I have been researching and working to improve this entry for my Women's History class. While writing my rough drafts, I found that it would be difficult to wedge all my new information into the previous entry due to the amount of information and that I am new to writing and editing Wiki articles. Also, I tried to improve the flow and organization of the article by adding new categories. Soon, I'll be adding a timeline (dates and places) of Annie's trip, a few further readings, and some "See Also" tags. Don't hesitate to let me know if there are any issues or if I've made any mistakes. Mef4232 (talk) 17:12, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well done! Your additions have improved this article substantially. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 12:20, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I just added Annie trip timeline, another Further Reading, and a few See Also tags. Mef4232 (talk) 20:07, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your energy is much appreciated. A few ideas to improve the article:

Images - can you find publicity stills from the current works? Or illustrations of the sort of bicycle and clothing she used?
Timeline - I'm not sure it adds that much, really. It just seems to swamp the article.
See also - see WP:ALSO for suggested glosses
Place names - see WP:OVERLINK. How likely is it that a reader will click on e.g. Singapore? I spent time cleaning up a couple of sections, but more needs to be done.

Latvian

It is a bit far-fetched to call Annie Cohen Kopchovsky for Latvian. At the time (1870-1875) Latvia was not a state, Latvians were an ethnicity/nation living on soil governed by other nations. Kopchovsky is a Russian or Polish surname. Cohen is Jewish and her parents were most likely Russian citizens. It would be more correct to call Annie a Russian Jew from Riga, which now is in Latvia. ^Talk/♥фĩłдωəß♥\^Work 23:29, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Implicit Bias

What in the world is up with this phrase: "albeit mostly by ship" in the introductory paragraph? I note that Thomas Stevens (cyclist), whose journey was very similar to Annie's, has no such qualification. It sure seems like there's some implicit bias going on. Even if the original author didn't intend it, the perception is very much there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8001:3600:89E9:9230:F19E:404D:DF92 (talk) 00:23, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
