Improved to Good Article status by SusunW (talk). Self-nominated at 17:20, 6 June 2018 (UTC).
Interesting life, GA, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensd and a good illustration. Hooks: the second is a bit unspecific for my taste. In the first, the "pictured" needs to go behind her name, I don't like it between the possessive and "firm", would not pipe the Boston Tea Party (to ring the bell more clearly), and perhaps mention London to contrast Boston, and distiller contrasting tea. I can also approve it if you think you did enough ;) - Article: I suggest to untangle the longish sentence about her siblings. - I swapped 2 images, revert if you don't like it. Fine article, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:11, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt Thank you. Yes, the first was always my preference and I couldn't figure out what to do with that (pictured) ;) I'm not sure about distilling, that has a connotation of alcohol and I have no idea if she was involved in the rum trade. If I don't pipe the Boston tea party, do you think people will get the context? What if I insert a date?, as in: SusunW (talk) 15:39, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- ALT2:
... that London merchant Mary Hayley (pictured) owned the firm which arranged the 1773 shipment of the tea for the party?
- Sorry, I wasn't clear, I didn't say delink, just be open and don't pipe, such as:
- ALT3: ... that the London firm of Mary Hayley (pictured) arranged the shipment of the tea for the Boston Tea Party?
- That's approved, but I'll watch if you have more ideas. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:14, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt technology and its terms always confuse me. It's fine. Thank you. ;) SusunW (talk) 16:21, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt Can it get a tick, or does someone else have to give it because you fixed the hook? SusunW (talk) 14:25, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
