Pix
- All three are relevant and appropriately licensed.
- Not a pass/fail issue but would be optimal to have alt text for accessibility
- Done
Copyvio
- Earwig gives nothing and I'll do some spotchecks
Spotchecks
- 5a "As an adult, she taught herself to speak French and to play the piano" bit close to source which says "As an adult she taught herself French and began studying piano" - I know there aren't many words to play with but you could say for example "learnt French"
- Done
- 5b fine
- 5c fine
- 5d fine
- 9a fine
- 9c fine
- 9h fine
- 10b AGF
- 6i "These plans were interrupted when she caught a cold that progressed into bronchitis and then pneumonia." bit close to source which says "Her cold had developed into bronchitis, and from there progressed to bronchitis" - I think i'd be happy if "progressed" was changed to another word
- Done
- 3h fine
- 3o fine
References
- Referenced to reliable sources, well laid-out.
- Inconsistent use of publisher location but that's not a GA pass/fail issue
Prose
- Reads well overall
- "They moved in with Cyprus Powers" - what relation is Cyrus to them?
- Done
- "While she held fashionable society in contempt, she enjoyed observing their behavior and participating in social parties" - society is singular, so maybe "people's behaviour"
- Done
- " was an active first lady that hosted many social events" - "who hosted"?
- Done
- "she designed the White House interior in the mind of a middle-class home" does "mind" make sense in US-eng? Reads funny to me, I guess I'd say "like" or "in the way of"
- Done
- "As an antebellum first lady, " is antebellum the best word choice? because for me it refers more to Antebellum South, but this might be another US/Br eng thing
- Done
- salon not wikilinked in article
- Done
- lead good
