7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Infobox

• The birth and death places are missing from the infobox

Added.

Biography

• "Her husband passed away in 1901," - predeceased her

Changed.

• "and she became the co-owner of Potts Manufacturing Company with Oscero by 1910. Their company produced optical goods." - think the text in bold can be merged into the preceding sentence

Merged.

• "She passed away on June 24, 1922" - more formal; died

Changed.

• The Morning Post says she died in Baltimore and was buried at New Camden Cemetry

Added.

Inventions

• "The iron was designed with comfort and convenience in mind. It replaced the metal handle which was prone to getting hot with a cool wooden one that was more comfortable to hold." - I think merging these sentences will help matters here

Merged.

• "The iron shape was double-pointed for operating in both directions. It was made of hollow rather than solid metal." - these two sentences could be better off merged together

Merged.

• "that was a poor conductors" - conductor

Changed.

• "user like its predecessor with old-styled conventional solid metal did." - the word indiciated in bold isn't needed IMO

Removed, along with "old-styled" which felt redundant.

• "was that they didn't" - did not

Changed.

• "weighed around 5 pounds (2.3 kg) to 10 pounds (4.5 kg)" - weighed around 5 ti

I used "to" and I suppose that is what was intended.

• "prevent burning the fingers." - either burning of the fingers or burned fingers will be better than the current version

Went with the latter.

Legacy

• "The Pott's iron mechanism was used worldwide through the twentieth century" - 20th

Changed.

• "Her innovation of a removable handle mechanism of 1871" - in

Changed.

• "Gillette's application was a removable disposable blade and reinsertion of a sharp blade" - think the grammar in this portion of text can be improved here

Rewrote.

References

• Reference 3 is missing the access date

Added.

• Reference 10 is missing the work

Added.

• All mentions of newspapers.com should begin with a capital letter

Done.

• Reference 21 is missing the date it was published and the page number is A6

MWright96, I have added the date it was published. However, I am unsure about "A6" since Newspapers.com says it is just "Page 6". Let me know if that should be changed. Thank you for your review! — The Most Comfortable Chair 17:51, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
