Geraldine Pindell Trotter
editHi, Rtw625. I took a look at your article. First of all, good job on your first article! I've made some changes, as you can see. I removed a lot of material relating to her husband, who has a well developed article already. There are sections of the article where he is important to her but even those could due to be trimmed down. The Guardian section is interesting but we don't want to use her biography to retell his or the Guardian's history. Perhaps some of this could be resolved not so much by editing material (thought that may be unavoidable) but by breaking things out into sections. For instance, the period of time after the paper folded could be broken into a new section. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:19, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Oh, sometimes in the text you refer to her as Trotter and other times as Pindell Trotter. I would pick one or the other, but not use both in the article. I changed one instance but there are probably others. Which one you pick is pretty much up to you unless you you know from a source which would be her commonly used surname (i.e. how she would be addressed as Mrs. XXX).
