Hello! I will be reviewing this article. --Cerebellum (talk) 00:00, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Good work on this! Interesting topic. I have a few suggestions below, so I'm placing the article on hold until you get a chance to address them.


 * Do you feel strongly about the use of "Mrs Rundell" instead of just "Rundell"? Generally with authors we wouldn't use Mrs, but this might be an exception.
 * Yes, "Mrs Rundell" is how she was (and is) known. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I would include more information on Emma Roberts; looks like she has her own article, and this link mentions her editing Mrs Rundell.
 * I have glossed and added dates and your ref for Emma Roberts. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't think you should repeat the line, "For all that, Carrell notes, both "the most famous cookery book of its time" and Rundell herself vanished into obscurity."
 * Well spotted. Removed the first one. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

 * It doesn't make sense to say that the 1865 edition earned Mrs Rundell 2000 guineas (last line of the lead), since she died in 1828.
 * Fixed. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:42, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks for the quick response! Pass.  --Cerebellum (talk) 01:29, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
