Peggy Rajski Wikipedia page and Trevor movie update

So, I decided to face my HTML fears and go for it with the Peggy Rajski page. To my surprise, it was not as bad as I thought it would be and I found it rather exciting (it took me back to the days of MySpace page layouts). Anyways, I used sandbox to put together the information that I had gathered on Rajski, making sure to use as many secondary sources I could find and reference, including a New York Times article containing a wedding announcement for Peggy in 1983 (information that can be used for a potential "Personal Life" section). I was also able to internally link to plenty of different Wiki sites (NYU, Tisch School of Arts, Academy Awards, Trevor [movie], and the Trevor Project). Once I put together everything that I had had about Peggy on Sandbox, I submitted the article for review.


During my research of Peggy, I stumbled upon an article written about her discussing the inspiration for her most successful movie, Trevor, came from a NPR broadcast about teen suicide. I thought this information was highly relevant to the Trevor Wikipedia page, so I decided to add that information on the Trevor movie wiki, as well as a link/reference to the article that I found the information on.

  1. Obviously, as you point out, an article on Rajski is needed, so I hope that you have a positive review experience. Nice to see that your work on the Trevor (film) page seems to have stuck. I was impressed that you also did a good job explaining your edits to be viewable in the history.

  2. Thanks for doing that! I don't think it ever passed muster but would love to see what you came up with.

    Best,
    Peggy Rajski
