replies: text: Congratulations on your effort. Requests for Comments are usually called out to resolve a specific dispute with respect to "article content, user conduct, and Wikipedia policy and guidelines." Also, RfC's are usually meant to offer a binary choice, e.g. "Agree" or "Disagree"; "Include" or "Do not Include"; "Merge" or "Do not merge." In other words, they are meant, more than anything, to resolve disputes. Seeing as your request is rather general, I would think that  a peer review process is what you're after. But I could be wrong. Congratulations, again.The Gnome (talk) 16:45, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

message: * Hello. I don't really have time to do the in-depth digging that would confirm (or disconfirm) the suspicions that came up in my initial sniff-test, and so I sincerely hope you will accept my apologies if I am completely wrong. The article, however, just has that certain "Hi, I'm copied from various sources" look about it (see forex this from the National Women's History Museum (copyright 2005), but don't limit yourself to that source; dig deeply). It also skips around somewhere near the line between biography and hagiography. Alas, the article about the Emma Willard School  does not "tread near" that line; it leaps over it...  and has that same WP:COPYVIO odor as well.
* Please be careful! It takes a lot of work to write this type of article. –OneLeafKnowsAutumn (talk) 07:05, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

message: I notice that there is a link to the Hall of Fame recognition at the very bottom of Emma Willard's article.  There is no reference in the page highlighting the recognition nearly 150 years following her death.  Given her work during her life, the recognition received while she was alive, and the AMAZING continuing recognition of her lifetime of work to enhance her citizens' quality of life through education I think this should be highlighted herein.  The reference material may be found at    http://www.greatwomen.org/news-and-events/archived-news/116-nine-extraordinary-women-named-as-national-womens-hall-of-fame-inductees 
Seneca Falls has benefited from Emma Willard's focus on education for young women. 
Not sure how to do all of this, but . . . .

message: The most recent edit should be reversed; the city of Orange did not exist when Emma Willard was born, and there is almost no chance that she was born in California.Pinikadia 23:09, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

message: It might be a good idea to include something about how Lafayette visited the Troy Female Seminary and met with Willard. I don't really have the time to do it right now unfortunately. Bobby Neirs (talk) 02:58, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
