Reviewing one of your amazing articles after years :D I will post my comments soon. Sainsf(talk·contribs) 08:13, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your interest and time. I will do my best to respond to your suggestions. Hoppyh (talk) 11:16, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the delay, I got busy with a few articles.
No dablinks, duplinks, copyvio issues, external link problems detected
Sourcing: Sources appear decent and citations are formatted well. A few portions appear unsourced and need inline citations, for example the bullet points listing the children. Can we have some for the enlisted works that are not mentioned earlier, like The Art of Housekeeping?
I just came in here to leave you a message to see if you were ok. I had placed the source for the children at the end of the list. Let me know if that doesn't suffice.Hoppyh (talk) 13:46, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ref added (Willard is the primary ref for all the works.) Hoppyh (talk) 13:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Should be better to place it right after the colon before the list starts, it gives the impression that the source covers all points. Sainsf(knock knock·am I there?) 17:07, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that's right, no need to reproduce a list in the infobox but surely something ought to be mentioned so that the reader can do with a quick look at the article. No issues I see. Sainsf(knock knock·am I there?) 17:07, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think "Youth, education and family" should be changed to "Early life and family" as it starts with her birth and sounds more concise.
when selected as Queen of the May by her contemporaries Not sure I understand this. What exactly is the relevance of the title, and who were the contemporaries exactly at such a young age?
Copyedit done. Hoppyh (talk) 14:38, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In keeping with standard practice at the time, the university provided the home at no cost for his lifetime This part appears irrelevant to me for the topic.
Her translations for leading periodicals and publishing houses form a long list. Not sure "long list" is a good descriptor, may even be considered problematic wording. Maybe say "She did a number of translations for leading periodicals and publishing houses"
A stained glass window (height–13 ft.) in the University Chapel Change to "A stained glass window, {{convert|13|ft|m|abbr=on|order=flip}} high, in the ..."
I think I addressed everything but let me know. Thanks again for your time, interest and help. Hoppyh (talk) 15:04, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, the changes look great. Just one point left about the sources for the children list and two more lines need inline citations. Cheers, Sainsf(knock knock·am I there?) 17:07, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
All done I think. Thanks again. Hoppyh (talk) 18:30, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
