Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format.

The comment the reviewer left was:

"followed her dream" "had a big break" - just say what she did - she studied, she composed, she went. No "epic Hollywood style". You have much material here that isn't sourced or that is sourced to interviews (which are not secondary sources). There should not be a list of everything she has done, just significant pieces that can be sourced to independent sources. Do not link to sales sites or to online versions of the music as references. This article is overly long; it should be much shorter.

Improving the article further[edit]

Hi Kdvr9,

Congratulations on your first article & thanks again for taking the time to make it so comprehensive and detailed.

Although the article is certainly ready for inclusion, Wikipedia is always a work in progress, and you'll notice that I've added a tag to the top of the article noting that the tone could us improvement. I know that's something the previous reviewers at AfC highlighted too, and that you've removed much of the promotional language, but a lot remains: "the Emmy-winning composer", "made Hollywood history", "world’s foremost", to name just a few. Wikipedia articles need to be written in a strictly factual and dispassionate tone. In biographies, we let the facts about a person's life and others' opinions of them speak for themselves, and avoid the temptation to "sell" the subject's notability. For example, while a list of awards is a valuable inclusion to an article, it's not necessary to preface works with "award-winning" whenever they are mentioned, because the fact that they won an award is an incidental point that in that context appears promotional. So if you can edit the article to remove this and other peacock language I think it would be much improved.

Happy editing! Joe Roe (talk) 14:38, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
