Notes[edit]

Not sure why your Lead is not in the actual Lead location—and I don't think you need a subheading saying "Lead." I would fix up and edit formatting throughout (e.g. weird extra space between the last line of the Background section and the rest of the section) and maybe use bolding or something to set apart the names in your character list. The biggest thing that needs TLC, though, is your Themes section. We need more robust work there, and probably the incorporation of more sources.

There is still a lot of work to be done on this article draft. I think you can tighten up the plot summary, and you need to flesh out your themes section. The character list is not yet finished and most of your prose throughout the article needs to be edited and formatted correctly. I am not sure why your lead focuses on Whitman right off the bat instead of the story—you might consider editing that as well. (Nick) --Uncannydazzler (talk) 10:45, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The themes section needs a lot of work, as at present it comes across as original research. This needs sourcing and any claims or interpretations need to be attributed to the person making them. Keep in mind, we can only summarize what has already been explicitly stated in reliable sources - we cannot create our own original research. The same goes for the background section - there are some unsourced statements in there that may also need attribution. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:57, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
