*twiddles thumbs*

Anything else people think needs adding, taking out or altering?

I don't know the rules on this but the entry seems remarkably similar to this : http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/seacole_mary.shtml

However if the scouts think its OK then I think you should add she was of Creole heritage - that her husband was Lord Nelson's godson, and most importantly that she was voted the greatest black Briton - (http://www.100greatblackbritons.com) incidently there has also been a musical written about her.

There is an appeal to have a statue built to her.

Ah, so that's where our lecturer got the stuff he gave us then he didn't reference it properly so I used it as a primary source of information without knowing it

I've got two comments really. You seem to have promised this entry to a Uni project, yet you've put it into PR. You need to decide whether it's part of the project or not. Uni projects don't go through PR as far as I'm aware, so you can't do both.

And the other thing is, this entry starts with no information at all - you could be talking about the woman next to you on the bus. I think it needs more of an intro about who and what made her so special she deserves an entry to herself at the beginning.

The Entry was originally for a Uni Project but the deadline ran out. Hence why the author has put it into PR instead.

Uni Projects will go through PR (as block instances - so Peer Reviewers can add there little bits).

I'd like to see much more to this though. As a nurse I know there is a lot more about Mary that needs to be told.

Try looking into http://www.nursing-standard.co.uk

There's probably some info there. Particularly this issue: Volume 19 No 34 May 4-10 2005 pp16-20

Come back T.B! Mary needs you
