Talk:Henry Poe/GA1

GA Review

Hello. I'll be doing the Good Article review for this article. It looks really good and is very close to passing. Here are some very minor suggestions for improvement:

• "The children were likely at Eliza's side as she died. Henry described her "long... last farewell" to them and was given a lock of her hair to remember her." - is the second sentence here supposed to help prove the first? If so, I'd try combining the sentences. For example, "The children were likely at Eliza's side as she died, as Henry described her "long... last farewell" to them and was given a lock of her hair to remember her." Otherwise, the first sentence will need a ref of its own, as the wording make it seem speculative.
• I think a mention of the similarity between the brothers' writings might be a good addition to the lead.
• Further reading should be below the references.

Not much to change. I also saw a few places that needed a little copyediting, but I'll fix that when everything else is taken care of. The article will be on hold for seven days to allow for these improvements. Great work! Nikki311 20:57, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for taking the time to review this! I guess the second sentence wasn't supposed to "back up" the assertion in the first sentence, but the information in both sentences came from the same source. I added a footnote just to be safe. I also agreed that the brothers' similar writing styles should be in the lede; let me know if you like its placement. Oh, and the "Further reading" section has been moved. Thanks again! Let me know if you seen anything else! --Midnightdreary (talk) 22:23, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Great work. I believe the article meets all the GA criteria, so I am going to pass it. Nikki311 22:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
