'''Comment'''. Alt text is present (thanks), but it repeats the caption (see [[WP:ALT#Repetition]]) and doesn't convey enough information about what the picture tells us that Procter looked like (see [[WP:ALT#Portraits]]).

Adelaide Anne Procter was one of the most respected and best-selling poets of the 19th-century, though she is now all but forgotten: she was the favorite poet of Queen Victoria, and her death was described in the press as a national calamity. Material on her is scant, but I've pulled together everything I could find (many sources duplicate info from primary sources, so I've leaned on primary sources here). Though the article is short because of the lack of sources, I believe it fulfills the FA criteria and if not, I would still like to hear suggestions on how to improve the article. Many thanks to Awadewit for a very thorough GA review and to S Marshall for a helpful peer review. Best, Ricardiana (talk) 07:03, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Comment - I have a few comments.
- "She suffered from ill health due to her charity work" - This isn't supported by the text in the main body: "Dickens and others have suggested that her illness was due to her extensive charity work".
- What do you suggest - perhaps "she suffered from ill health, possibly due..."? Ricardiana (talk) 21:19, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- "The few critics who have examined Procter's poetry generally find it important for the way that Procter overtly expresses conventional sentiments while covertly undermining them." - Is this supported by Armstrong? If not it needs a source.
- Yes, it is supported by Armstrong. Ricardiana (talk) 21:19, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- "Procter converted to Roman Catholicism" - Why?
- No reason is given in any source I've found. Ricardiana (talk) 21:19, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
