I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Ivanhfchoi

Thank you for creating Denise R. Osborn.

User:Blythwood, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

This is good work for a first article! Notable subject for an article and no major problems. I've added some standard things to finish off an article on an academic: I've added a "default sort" tag, so she appears in categories indexed under surname not first name, an "authority control" tag linking to her work on library categories, and a few categories. Important is the "living people" category, as articles on living people often need more scrutiny to prevent vandalism. And put in a reference list and set it to display in columns, and a tag on the talk page for what type of article this is. Few formatting things: it's customary to put references after a full stop, with no space (someone wrote a bot that automatically fixes this, though). While I can tell you put a lot of work into it, in my view it's rarely worth doing a bibliography for an academic who publishes frequently, they're so often out of date the day after they're added and just mirror whatever website the information came from when the page was written. (Though it's maybe more useful in the case of an academic who's retired and doesn't have a faculty site where they can list what they think their most important work is, as here.) Hope that all makes sense!

{{Re|Blythwood}}

Thank you for examining Denise R. Osborn. I did end up taking you advise and changing all the references places. I hope it looks better now.

Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it a lot.
