I am reviewing this very old FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria. The FAC nominator has not edited in years, and the article does not appear to be watched.

  • There was a large amount of MOS:SANDWICH, which I have resolved.
  • MOS:LQ attention is needed.
  • There is some uncited text.

Hopefully someone will adopt this article so that it won't need to be submitted to Featured article review. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:45, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Two remaining CN tags

The two citation needed tags remaining are:

  1. 'This gender-balanced structure was not carried through on the book's packaging, which listed eight of the male writers then added "... and some women".'
    I suspect that this is some light OR, based on the image of the cover. If that's the case, I'd suggest keeping the sentence but trimming the first clause. "The book's packaging listed ..." with a citation to the book itself.
  2. "Of these, the three longest relationships were with de Gramont, Brooks, and Wilde; from 1927, she was involved with all three of them simultaneously, a situation that ended only with Wilde's death. Her shorter affairs, such as those with Colette and Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, often evolved into lifelong friendships."
    Tough to verify as written. That her relationships with de Gramont and Brooks were her longest and most important is easily verifiable (Rodriguez, for sure). Could we replace this with some different, sourced "overview of her relationships" material?

Dolly Wilde

This section needs expansion or rewriting. Right now, it includes biographical detail on Wilde, but little information on her relationship with Barney. Firefangledfeathers (talk | contribs) 15:30, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Small stuff

  1. Page number references need to be standardized.
  2. Could we consider using Template:harvnb instead of plain-text page number references? With this many sources and citations, hyperlinks could really help the reader.
  3. I think all the MOS:LQ stuff is fixed but would appreciate a second opinion.
  4. Colette could probably use some introduction as more than just Vivien's friend and neighbor.
  5. Needs a pass for duplicate wikilinks.

I would suggest {{sfn}} rather than {{harvnb}} because it automatically deals with duplicate refs, but I would be happy with either and if consensus to change this develops I would be happy to implement.
I don't see any MOS:LQ issues. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 15:55, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
sfn sounds great. I agree we should wait on more affirmative consensus, though I see SandyGeorgia had the same thought at FAR. Firefangledfeathers (talk | contribs) 15:58, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
