Response

Hi! I have some notes. By large this is good - the writing looks neutral, but it needs some tweaks here and there. One of the these I did myself, to remove the use of the Pankhursts name after each of the daughters as this is a little repetitive. It's OK to use the first name in this type of situation, where you're listing a person's children where the children have the same name as them. Other than that, some of the writing feels a little general on the topic of women suffragettes, so it maybe could be tightened a little.

I'm also leery of maltaramc.com, as it doesn't really show where it has an editorial oversight and feels like a self-published source. I do see where it's used here as a source in an academic text, but I'd use this one with caution and not for any major claims. This one is a student group for SUNY, which makes it a self-published source as well. I wouldn't use this one, however, as there's no information about any type of editorial oversight and I don't really know that it's seen as a reliable source by other reliable sources. The other sources look to be fine, though.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:49, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
