Images

 * I think that "Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier" needs a tag explaining why it is free use in the US.
 * Will check and add or remove picture. Tim riley  talk   17:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the existing tag makes the copyright status clear. I am not expert in images, but I don't think anyone would think the picture is not free use in America.  Tim riley  talk   17:35, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * At ACR and FAC I have had comments which started "I know that it is obvious, but …" However, doing a little research it seems that you are right.


 * Optional: Centre the captions.
 * I don't usually. Is there an MoS guide on this?  Tim riley  talk   17:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * No. A matter of personal preference. Hence labelled "optional".


 * Optional: alt text.
 * Definitely. I am usually very particular about this.  Tim riley  talk   17:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Prose

 * Note 5. Could you have a look at the punctuation?
 * Done. Comma added to close clause.  Tim riley  talk   17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

More to follow. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:25, 12 February 2019 (UTC)


 * "who mounted a series of revivals and a few new burlesques and extravaganzas, which failed to pay" Marginal for GA, but "failed to pay" may not make immediate sense as meaning 'failed to show a profit'. That is they "paid" in that money came in, just not as much as went out.
 * Redrawn.  Tim riley  talk   17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * The quote towards the end of 1858-69 ("She had done nobly …") is fifty words long. MOS:BQ suggests that quotes of "more than about 40 words" should be block quotes. At GA fifty is acceptable to me, but I feel that for once adherence to the MOS may improve the article. Your choice.
 * Done.  Tim riley  talk   17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * There seems to be a lucuna in the text between 1871 and 1875
 * I think the quote box covers this. I am a bit reluctant to duplicate its content.  Tim riley  talk   17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * For GA I am inclined to agree.


 * "She had made her name in management founding and running the Court Theatre" Should there be punctuation?
 * Comma added.  Tim riley  talk   17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

It is very pleasing and a little frustrating that I can find nothing apart from the minutiae above to pick at. Probably the easiest GAN assessment I have carried out and an article of a standard well above that of most GAs. If you could come back to me on the above points, I shall be delighted to pass it.

 * All done, I think, except for the fourth bullet point, as explained.  Tim riley  talk   17:19, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
