Potential improvements

Possible additions

Analytical Review - A journal published by Joseph Johnson that MW helped edit

This is nearing GA level; it probably cannot be taken beyond GA - there is not enough scholarship on the topic. Awadewit | talk 10:37, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is currently at GAC. Awadewit | talk

I've found more research and am prepping this article for FAC. Awadewit | talk 08:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is at FAC. Awadewit | talk 01:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman - Godwin's biography of MW that destroyed her reputation

This is currently a stub. Awadewit | talk 10:37, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

William Godwin - MW's husband

This article has a lot of unsourced material. It may need to be substantially retooled. Awadewit | talk 10:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gilbert Imlay - MW's lover

This is a stub. Awadewit | talk 10:37, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Fuseli - MW loved him fiercely and wanted to live with him and his wife

This article has a lot of unsourced material. It may need to be substantially retooled. Awadewit | talk 10:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Johnson - MW's publisher and close friend; she described him as a father and a brother

This article is well-advanced; it needs polishing to become an FA. Awadewit | talk 10:37, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is currently at GAC. Awadewit | talk 22:33, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is currently at PR. Awadewit | talk 13:42, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is basically ready for FAC. It just needs a MOS check. Awadewit | talk 08:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is at FAC. `Awadewit | talk

Fanny Imlay - MW and Gilbert Imlay's daughter

This is a B-class article. Awadewit | talk 10:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been radically expanded using Todd's new biography. It can be brought to FA status. Details need to be checked against other biographies, but the bulk of the material is present. Rewriting must now begin. Awadewit | talk 08:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This has been checked against the other biographies and expanded and caveats added. It is now at GAC. Awadewit | talk 01:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is now an FA. Awadewit | talk 14:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Shelley - MW and William Godwin's daughter

This article has a lot of unsourced material. It may need to be substantially retooled. Awadewit | talk 10:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Qp10qp and Awadewit are currently research Shelley in preparation for rewriting and sourcing the page. Awadewit | talk 01:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These are all in the Template:Mary Wollstonecraft. Awadewit | talk 22:30, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I reckon all six people would have to be added together, but in my opinion Analytical Review could (possibly should) be added now - rst20xx (talk) 17:31, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was just going to wait and add them all together - saves time and energy. It is such a bother to add anything to the topic. However, if you think we should add AR now, let's add all of the current FAs. Awadewit (talk) 17:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well as I said, I think all six people would have to be added together, as adding some but not others would result in an obvious gap in that section of the topic, whereas having none means they are not currently (not yet, anyway) in the scope of the topic.

But if you want to wait, and add them all at once, or add either Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Analytical Review or the people and Analytical Review together, that's of course absolutely fine.

I only said you possibly should add Analytical Review now as one could argue it presents a gap in being her only work not currently included, however equally one could argue it doesn't as Analytical Review is a periodical and she only contributed to it, so it's fine for it to be out for now - rst20xx (talk) 19:23, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather not go to the trouble for just one article. I'm about to leave for Wikimania anyway, so I wouldn't be able to keep up with the nomination. Awadewit (talk) 19:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
