Verity Lambert[edit]

I've done quite a bit of work on this recently, expanding and adding citations and references and so forth. It's probably too short and lacking illustration for a shot at featured article status at this time, but I'd like to get it to that level at some point so any advice and comments people have would be most welcome, particularly on areas you think could be expanded upon.

Auto peer review[edit]

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

  • Per WP:CONTEXT and WP:MOSDATE, months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.
  • If this article is about a person, please add {{persondata}} along with the required parameters to the article - see Wikipedia:Persondata for more information.
  • Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
    • While additive terms like “also”, “in addition”, “additionally”, “moreover”, and “furthermore” may sometimes be useful, overusing them when they aren't necessary can instead detract from the brilliancy of the article. This article has 14 additive terms, a bit too much.
    • Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
  • Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that the it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 2a. [1]

Cheers for these notes. I have added the Persondata tagging; removed linked dates (aside from those in the references and the one for her date of birth); I have also gone through and tried to pick out unnecessary redundancies, where I can spot them. Angmering 20:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
