Comments

I'm an online ambassador for your WMST 250: Women, Art, and Culture (2014 Q3) class and have just stopped by to provide a quick review and add what I hope will be helpful comments.

You've done a really good job on your article, you have good background and career/accomplishments information, which is also well-cited with correctly formatted citations. It is written with an encyclopedic tone.

A couple of suggestions:

• punctuation goes before the citations, not after. I made a couple of tweaks as examples.
• You may want to produce a short list of her key works, more of which can be found on World Cat
• I think this portion of a sentence is missing a word ("a", ?): "Rundell sent compilation to a family friend"

I'll check in on you again, and I'll be watching this page if you have any questions or comments.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:52, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

@Esunnucks: Hi, I think the article is looking pretty good - and looks ready to move into article space to me.

I went through ans sorted out the editions of her works - there were so many that it was a bit confusing - but I think I have the earliest edition info for the books. I found a potentially interesting addition of contribution to a history book in 1763, which would have meant she would have and to written her contributions at the age of 18 or earlier.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:34, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Update: That's got to be some sort of mistake. Perhaps this was an edition that has been owned by Rundell? I'm not finding anything to substantiate that she contributed to this book and other editions just show David Hume as the author... and the "Frances Amelia Rundell", also listed as an author, was the name of her daughter.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:52, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, Your article seems to be shaping up pretty well. You may want to add more information about your artist when it comes to her writing (if more information is available). You did a great job with writing in "wikipedia style" which took me some time to get adjusted to. I went through your article and corrected a few grammar errors as well as adding an info box. Info boxes seem to get the most urgent information to the viewer first. Also, when you are introducing your authors husband you mention that me may have two occupations. Before I edited this page you had only one citation for the surgeon claim and not the jeweler. I assumed you wanted to cite all of the information in the sentence so I went ahead and switched your citation but I would double check your sources to see if this was right.

If you wanted to add an image, you could use an image of one of her works, like this one or this.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:58, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm happy to help with this if you like.--CaroleHenson (talk) 20:20, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
