Natalie Clifford Barney
My first attempt at a full rewrite of a biography. Detailed and extensively sourced now, but since no one else has been doing significant edits recently, additional sets of eyeballs on this article would be very helpful and much appreciated. I'd like to get it to GA if possible.  &mdash;Cel ithemis  01:08, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Very nice! I think it will pass GAC. "Literary portraits" seemed a bit listy too me-I think pure prose would be better-and "Novel" is a bit stubby-merge or expand. Some further remarks based on my personal taste-this means they are not necessarily correct: Good luck with GAC! I believe you'll be fine!--Yannismarou 18:11, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * After "Early Life", I thought I lost a bit the story of Barney's life. My belief is that "Writing" would be better after "World War II and after", when the biography is over and we have a complete picture of Barney's life.
 * In "Writing" I would like to see some modern assessments about her work.
 * "Literary portraits" does not cover another topic; the impact of her personality in the future generations, her legacy (if such a thing exists). Is Barney important for us now? Has she influenced the future generations? And if yes, why and how?

 * Use of expatriate in Summary. Since this wasn't wikified, I had to look it up. Its use seems associated with a specific group of writers of modernist literature termed the Lost Generation. To help explain the use of "expatriate", to non-literature persons...I think you need the "lost generation" term in there.
