Burial[edit]

Where is she buried? I think if we found this out it would be a great addition to the article. --Coingeek (talk) 19:38, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Prose[edit]

  • The three years in "(née Irwin; July 23, 1804 – 1845–1847)" are confusing. I see this is later explained as uncertainty in the year of death, but maybe "c. 1846" would be a better way to express that?
  • "From this marriage, Jane received seven more siblings". I guess that would make them half-siblings?
  • "She was widowed upon the death of her husband": That's an odd sentence; is there any other way to be widowed?
  • "it was decided that his wife Anna Harrison would not travel". Who decided that? See MOS:WEASEL.
  • "Jane Harrison was chosen" same as above.
  • "incoming president" perhaps use the more common term, "president-elect"?
  • "Also accompanying them", drop "also"
  • "Harrison had asked her aunt" there's multiple Harrisons being discussed. I think you'd do better to refer to her by her first name.
  • "as she had previously lived" it's not clear if "she" is referring to Jane Findlay or Jane Harrison, or maybe even Anna Harrison.
  • "Harrison married widower Lewis Whiteman, and she died of tuberculosis a few years later." This makes it sound as if there was some causal relationship between the marriage and the tuberculosis.
  • I will admit to some general concern over the length of this article, i.e. how short it is. There's nothing in WP:GACR which requires a minimum length (and thus I won't demand additional material), but it stil leaves me wondering if there's more than can or should be said.

Sources[edit]

  • Looking over the references, they all appear to be WP:RS
  • The citation for Ref 5 contains an error: "CS1 maint: date and year (link)"
  • Spot checking Special:Permalink/1193045011:
    • Ref 1: I'm not convinced "She has sometimes been confused with her aunt, Jane Findlay," is supported by this source.
    • Ref 3: The source verifies, but the citation is confusing. Why not skip the links to the Cultural Resources Geographic Information System and just cite the NRHP Inventory form directly?
    • Ref 9: TIL the word "chatelaine" :-)

Other criteria[edit]

  • I didn't find any copyright problems, either from the spot-checked sources or via earwig.
  • Both images have appropriate licenses
  • No WP:OR
  • No problems with stability, neutrality, etc

Finished with initial review. RoySmith (talk) 19:30, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RoySmith I believe I've addressed everything in the article. I reworded all of the items you listed under prose, and I adjusted the sources as needed. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:19, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
