Once again, a very nice job. Substantively, this chart is in some ways easier than the other (it focuses on Rev. George Austen's grandchildren) and harder (more names to deal with). It is graphically clear and well-organized. Simmaren (talk) 15:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Content:
 * The only issue here is that the chart omits four of the eight children of George Austen because they had no children. Unfortunately, this includes "dear Aunt Jane" herself, which may detract from the ability of some to understand why the chart exists. We can deal with this (in the title to the chart as it appears on the article pages or in notes in or appended to the chart) by stating the fact.
 * Is it worth including a note that the charts can be viewed at a larger scale by clicking on them?
 * Typos:
 * The dates for Charles, son of Edward Knight/Elizabeth Bridges (third level), should be: (1803-1867)
 * The surname of Caroline Mary Craven, daughter of Rev. James and Mary Lloyd (third level), should probably be italicized in keeping with the treatment of Edward Knight and James Edward Austen-Leigh, as an indication that this was a name acquired through marriage.

New version uploaded with those fixes. The question of including Jane is tricky. There are three options I can see:
 * 1) Leave it as is and explain in the caption.
 * 2) Shrink the fonts and slide everyone so I can fit Aunt Jane in amongst her siblings.
 * 3) Expand the physical size of the picture and keep the fonts as they are, and fit Aunt Jane in.

Option 2 will make the writing harder to read. Option 3 will probably leave the writing a little easier to read than option 2 (though harder to read than option 1), but has a slightly different problem; it will make the natural size of the full image larger than the screen resolution of most people's computers. This means that the only way to see the image at its natural size is to click through to the image page, then click again on the image, then click again to maximize the image and use the browser scroll bar to move around. This is what I did for the Fanny Imlay chart, and you can see the effect in that article. Let me know which you'd like to try. Mike Christie (talk) 18:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Option 1. I didn't intend to suggest that something be added to the chart. Logically, adding Jane should mean adding the other three missing siblings. Simmaren (talk) 23:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe that this is ready to be unveiled. Simmaren (talk) 23:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
