Criteria marked are unassessed

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

A few queries related to spotchecks and prose. Please respond on each point so I know if it's done or not. Putting article on hold for a week, let me know if you need longer, but the fixes should be fast - happy to discuss anything Mujinga (talk) 10:50, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
