You have a lot of information on Harvey which is awesome! The Wiki page is a bit wordy. I took out some words to make sentences sound less choppy. When writing a wikipedia page, you want to make sure that the information you are presenting makes sense to the reader. When you say "at the White Cross in the same city," I don't understand what the "White Cross" is? Is it the same city that they live in or is Newcastle-on-Tyne the same city? I feel that the Early Life section jumps all over the place and should really just include the key events that shaped Harvey into who she is today.

The Major works section is also very wordy. It might help to break up the pieces of works into different paragraphs so the reader has a chance to learn about each one individually. Bunching all that information into one paragraph prevents the reader's brain from being able to take a break. I do like that you included that "The Tenant of the Tomb"was \claimed to be the first "historical Gothic Melodrama" performed that was written by a woman, but I think you should expand on why Harvey should be noted as someone who is influential in female culture. What made her so significant? How has her work changed the women literature we view today? Samgriff (talk) 23:43, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
