Hi Eddie891. Nice work on this article! I have a couple of suggestions on how you could improve it further:

  • Could you double check the PDF link for the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame citation (currently ref 3)? The URL redirects me to the MWF hall of fame timeline, which doesn't verify the material in the article.
  • The article currently contradicts itself re Clara's date of birth—in the lead it says April 11, 1866, and in the "early life" section it says July 30, 1863.
  • Could you add some context to the "Fair Lane" section that ties it to the rest of the article? You have some interesting information about the Fair Lane estate, but it's not clear how some of it is directly related to Clara's life (such as describing the variety of roses on the estate grounds). Unless information specific to Clara can be added, it would make more sense to merge this section into the Fair Lane article.

Well the link is completely correct, but the MWHOF seems to have updated their website, and in the process of it, completely taken down many of their PDFs.Eddie891 Talk Work 01:20, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's unfortunate. Can you find another source to verify the article content? I searched the MWF website and wasn't able to find a page about Clara. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 01:35, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see she now has an entry. (For whatever reason, the timeline did not include the 2017 honorees when I initially checked.) I went ahead and replaced the PDF link with the updated URL. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 21:59, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
