I am the author and I am confused as to why this article has been tagged for cleanup, since there was no explanation as to how it could be improved. I plan to remove the tag in a week unless someone tells me how it can be fixed. --Survivalism (talk) 02:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are quite right and I apologize for not offering a better explanation. And right now, I don't remember just what was my reasoning. It might have been just an initial reaction that it didn't look right - it didn't have a proper lead sentence, it had only one wikilink, and it didn't have any categories. Then I slightly edited the first sentence so that it is least looks proper, you've added a second link, and you've added categories. So those objections are mostly addressed.

I think what it needs most is a lead sentence to establish context - she is a fictional character in Dante's classic Divine Comedy. It could also use more wikilinks.

I went ahead and added a lead sentence, more links, and an ISBN number. I've removed the cleanup tag. Cheers. Sbowers3 (talk) 13:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
