Hello, I'm Calvin999 and I am reviewing this article.


 * Review
 * No dab links
 * No issues with links


 * The couple was educated → The couple were educated
 * Done


 * The lead implies that she had more than one child, but the info box only lists one child. All children should be included in the info box.
 * Done (included the ones who survived to adulthood)


 * including the 9th Earl of Winchilsea. → His name should be before the title, too.
 * Done


 * An accomplished woman, Finch gained her appointment as royal governess → What had she accomplished prior to becoming governess? Just having children?
 * "Accomplished" refers to her education and skills; Austen satirically defined it like so: "A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word ['accomplished']; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions."


 * the birth of the Prince of Wales, → Again, his name should be included.
 * Done


 * The lead isn't summarizing the article entirely. Later life and death have been omitted.
 * I've added a bit more of text to the lead about this.


 * include ten children, → include ten children:
 * Done


 * scant → This choice of word doesn't read very well.
 * Done


 * Their only son, George, inherited the earldoms of Nottingham and Winchilsea from his paternal uncle in 1769. → Presumably because Daniel had no sons?
 * Yes, but that would be OR, I think.


 * the birth of the Prince of Wales, → Again, his name would be helpful.
 * Done


 * Horace Walpole called the decision → You've already used his full name in the previous section, so no need to continue using his first name.
 * Done


 * The princes she oversaw → She oversaw the princes
 * Done


 * He died soon after, in late 1766 → He died in late 1766.
 * Done
