I'll review this one within the next 7 days. --Rosiestep (talk) 17:51, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Great, thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 20:05, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Initial comments

WikiProjects

• I added a couple of pertinent WikiProjects.
  • Excellent, thank you!--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:31, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Images

• Image captions: Massachusetts can be removed from "Tapestry, oil on canvas, Fitchburg Art Museum, Massachusetts" as the preceding image mentions the state.
  • Good point. Done.--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:31, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
• Number of images in comparison to amount of prose - Seems disproportionate. I recognize that articles about artists should contain representative samples of their work, but I'm wondering if one or more of the images could be removed, for example, "Still Life with Parrot, oil on canvas", which is not mentioned within the article itself?
  • Yep, that would be the one I'd choose, too. I removed it.--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:31, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

More later. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:09, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

• Hi @Rosiestep:, do you have anything else for the review? Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:18, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Second set

Early life

• "50 miles" - I suggest using the measurement template for those who understand other measurements better: 50 miles (80 km)

•  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Style and paintings

• Can the one-sentence paragraph be merged with another paragraph?

•  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Museum

• "twentieth century" - change to "20th century" as numerals for centuries have been used earlier in the article.

•  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

• "The works of art—which includes" - change to "include"

•  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Death

• "She" - change to Norcross

•  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Notes

• "She was raised in two houses on Fitchburg's Main Street, one no longer stands and the other is on upper Main Street, across from Upper Common" - Either split this into 2 sentences, or use a semi-colon after Street.

• Made 2 sentences. Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

• "According to Edouard Villard may have influenced Norcross's interiors, according to Traute M. Marshall, author of Art Museums Plus." - I'm not quite sure what this is saying. Maybe the sentence should omit the first two words?

• Yep, I reworded the sentence, but forgot to remove the extra "according to". thanks!  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

• If Edouard Villard refers to Édouard Vuillard, add wl.

•  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

• "The museum is also reported to have founded in 1925" - ... have been founded ...

•  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

References

• 1 January 2005 - switch to January 1, 2005 to match style used throughout this section

•  Done--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Categories

• Consider adding some cats regarding collector and philanthropist; also Category:People from Fitchburg, Massachusetts‎, Category:Deaths from kidney failure, and Category:American Impressionist painters.

•  Done - I used "Deaths from renal failure", which was the redirect from "Deaths from kidney failure". Good additions!--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

@CaroleHenson: Nicely done. Please ping me when you're ready for me to take a final read. --Rosiestep (talk) 03:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Great catches! Thanks, @Rosiestep:!--CaroleHenson (talk) 05:16, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
