Hallo, and thanks for your work on this article. Unfortunately you made some mistakes while improving the article.

You don't need to cite every sentence, where a whole paragraph comes from one source. In fact your edits managed to leave some of the original, cited, text, looking uncited as you split up the paragraphs and left it without a reference. I'll go through and sort this out.

You also haven't noticed the Wikipedia rule that references go after punctuation, and not before, so someone would have had to copyedit every reference you added.

Apostrophes should be straight, not angled: I've fixed them. And as it's about an English writer, "parlour", not "parlor".

Perhaps most seriously, though, you managed to remove all the existing links. That was really destructive. Please take more care in future not to damage the encyclopedia by undoing the work of other editors like this. You have a different opinion from me as to the level of detail worth including from what was available in the Orlando article: that's fine, but don't unlink existing links. I'll now go through and fix those.

Is this work of yours part of a school project? If so, please see Student assignments and share it with your instructor. I wondered, because you mention a course in your user name.

Welcome to Wikipedia, but please take a bit more care next time you edit. Thanks, and Happy Editing! Pam D  10:09, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
