GA nom

[edit]

I've re-done the entire article, as the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica text was wholly inadequate and sexist to boot. Sadly, there's not much out there on AAP, but I believe I've found all major sources. I don't know if the article is beefy enough to warrant GA, but I'm nominating it anyway just to see.

Nice job

[edit]

This article looks pretty much like a one-person job. It's very informative. Thank you for all the effort. Jeffmatt (talk) 18:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - and you're welcome! Ricardiana (talk) 21:00, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How did this article ever make FA status?

[edit]

It's illiterate, mis-spelt and unencyclopedic:

"Procter never married. Reason unknown because she died as a single young woman, but probably wanted to do more in life then choosing the simple path of becoming an married woman."

I don't see that quote there. Did someone fix it already?--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 21:42, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As you could easily see by reviewing the article's history,[1] that sentence was both added and reverted just today. FA tend to attract a lot of ill-considered edits. Dwpaul Talk 21:43, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am reviewing this article as part of WP:URFA/2020, an initiative to review Wikipedia's oldest featured articles. I am concerned that this article does not include post-2009 sources, which could be used to expand upon the article and make the "Literary career" section more comprehensive. Examples of sources that I found are below:

  • Gill Gregory, The Life and Work of Adelaide Procter: Poetry, Feminism and Fathers [2]
  • Karen Dieleman, Religious Imaginaries: The Liturgical and Poetic Practices of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, and Adelaide Procter [3]
  • S Rogers Transforming the Fallen Woman in Adelaide Anne Procter's “A Legend of Provence” [4]
  • Cheri Lin Larsen Hoeckley The Dynamics of Poetics and Forgiveness in Adelaide Procter's ‘Homeless’ [5]
  • Emily Harrington The Expiration of Commitments in Adelaide Procter's “Homeward Bound” [6]

Is anyone willing to take a look at these sources to see if they should be included in the artice, or should this be sent to WP:FAR? Z1720 (talk) 20:58, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I’d be happy to do it soon-ish as I’m starting a new research project and looking at these sources fits in well with that. Thank you! Ricardiana (talk) 21:00, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, progress so far:
- Gregory is already there and has been for ages.
- Added Harrington and Dieleman.
- I will investigate Rogers and Hoeckley next. Ricardiana (talk) 23:19, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
