Images

• I think that "Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier" needs a tag explaining why it is free use in the US.

• Will check and add or remove picture.Tim riley talk 17:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

• I think the existing tag makes the copyright status clear. I am not expert in images, but I don't think anyone would think the picture is not free use in America. Tim riley talk 17:35, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

• At ACR and FAC I have had comments which started "I know that it is obvious, but …" However, doing a little research it seems that you are right.

• Optional: Centre the captions.

• I don't usually. Is there an MoS guide on this? Tim riley talk 17:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

• No. A matter of personal preference. Hence labelled "optional".

• Optional: alt text.

• Definitely. I am usually very particular about this. Tim riley talk 17:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Prose

• Note 5. Could you have a look at the punctuation?

• Done. Comma added to close clause. Tim riley talk 17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

More to follow. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:25, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

• "who mounted a series of revivals and a few new burlesques and extravaganzas, which failed to pay" Marginal for GA, but "failed to pay" may not make immediate sense as meaning 'failed to show a profit'. That is they "paid" in that money came in, just not as much as went out.

• Redrawn. Tim riley talk 17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

• The quote towards the end of 1858-69 ("She had done nobly …") is fifty words long. MOS:BQ suggests that quotes of "more than about 40 words" should be block quotes. At GA fifty is acceptable to me, but I feel that for once adherence to the MOS may improve the article. Your choice.

• Done. Tim riley talk 17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

• There seems to be a lucuna in the text between 1871 and 1875

• I think the quote box covers this. I am a bit reluctant to duplicate its content. Tim riley talk 17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

• For GA I am inclined to agree.

• "She had made her name in management founding and running the Court Theatre" Should there be punctuation?

• Comma added. Tim riley talk 17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

It is very pleasing and a little frustrating that I can find nothing apart from the minutiae above to pick at. Probably the easiest GAN assessment I have carried out and an article of a standard well above that of most GAs. If you could come back to me on the above points, I shall be delighted to pass it. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:19, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

All done, I think, except for the fourth bullet point, as explained. Tim riley talk 17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
