 * I'll be starting this review in the next couple of days. auntieruth (talk) 16:31, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * 2nd paragraph of "Life as Queen" needs a citation. Many other citations are missing.  Placing onhold for 7 days.  auntieruth (talk) 19:10, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The short passage about the birth of her children and the two childhood deaths? I can see about remedying that, but will you not list the other complaints? – Conservatrix (talk) 19:58, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. This article has extensive copyright violations of several sources, so please check it with the Earwig copyvio tool. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:05, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

 * 1785: War of Bavarian Succession was over in 1779. Are you referring to the territorial deal between Joseph and Charles Theodore, over some territory in the Netherlands?
 * Unable to find sourcing that references British involvement in the territorial disputes of 1785.


 * several citations missing (marked) ✅
 * section on legacy has some text pretty close to the source. could you rework this more in your own words?
 * Pictogram voting question.svg Question: The only citation was attached to a list. You want me to reword a list of locations?


 * direct citation on David Buck's comment?
 * Seemingly cannot be found without access to The Boston Globe Archives.


 * rework sentence According to Mario de Valdes y Cocom, Charlotte may have had African ancestry, via descent from Margarita de Castro e Souza, a 15th-century Portuguese noblewoman, who traced her ancestry to King Afonso III of Portugal (1210–1279) and one of his mistresses, Madragana (c. 1230–?). For example, ....Cocoim, historian of the African Diaspora, posits that Charlotte may have had some African ancestry; she descended from Margarita de Castro e Souza, a 15.... etc. ✅
 * would be interesting to dig out a cite on introduction of Christmas tree (or did I miss it).
 * Pictogram voting question.svg Question: Where was a Christmas tree mentioned? Are you referencing the tradition of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert?


 * there are several citations still missing, and one leads to an error of fact.
 * what was the source on the dispute of 1785? It cannot be that they were intervening in the war.  Where did that statement come from?
 * Pictogram voting question.svg Question: In 1785 the plan to swap Bavaria for the Austrian Netherlands was secretly negotiated again, this time Emperor Joseph II. in favour of the deal, although Bavaria provided considerably lower revenues than the Austrian Netherlands. Yet Prussia threatened with war when Frederick the Great heard of the project, Saxony, Hannover, Mainz sided with Prussia; the plan was not realized. This is all that could be found on Bavarian politics in 1785. Your call on whether the statement is removed.


 * source of deaths of Octavius and Alfred? ✅
 * source on Queen's death ✅
 * Fitzgerald source needs proper link to online google books. Ideally, maybe you could find some page numbers and link to them. Simplty linking to the book at every sentence in a paragraph is insufficient, especially if you're going to take this further than GA.
 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: Google books link found. Page citations not done.


 * Sources on Bloomsbury memorial, Rutgers, Charlotte Durham, and Madness of King George needed. ✅
 * I added sources on Rutgers. auntieruth (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2018 (UTC)


 * you can cite some of this material to Walley Oullton's published memoirs  auntieruth (talk) 16:10, 4 June 2018 (UTC)


 * still needs a citation on first paragraph of "early life" and first paragraph of "marriage" ✅
 * I tightened up the sourcing on several other paragraphs. Every sentence doesn't need a cite, but theparagraph did.  It would ultimately be helpful if you had page citations.  I understand that you might not be interested in that....auntieruth (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I mean to get Charlotte over the threshold of GA status. Are page citations vital to her passing? – Conservatrix (talk) 00:22, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * No, as long as the source is there. We do need citations on those paragraphs mentioned above.  I fixed War of Bavarian Succession, and a couple of other spots.  Find those missing citations on those paragraphs, and we're good.auntieruth (talk) 13:45, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The deed is done. – Conservatrix (talk) 23:58, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
