This looks like an interesting article from Grnrchst that could help Women in Green. It looks likely to meet the Good Article criteria but I will start a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 20:24, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

It is currently assessed as a B class article

Criteria

The six good article criteria:

It is reasonable well written.
the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct;
- The writing is clear and appropriate.
- I believe it is "whom" rather than "who" in "Peter Kropotkin, who she married" in the lead.
  - Changed. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Reword "After years of hard work deteriorated her health, some of her friends sent her abroad to Switzerland, so that she could rest". For example, there is no comma after Switzerland.
  - Comma removed. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe it is "once every two months" rather than "once each two months".
  - Changed. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe "after Charlotte Wilson had secured her with a career as a teacher" should read "after Charlotte Wilson secured her a career as a teacher".
  - Changed. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I can see no other obvious spelling or grammar errors.
it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead, layout and word choice.
- It seems to comply with the Manuals of Style.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
it contains a reference section, presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
- A reference section is included, with sources listed.
all inline citations are from reliable sources;
- There is evidence that the sources, including Ferrett 2017, Green 2022, Saytanov 2021 and Woodcock & Avakumović 1990, cover the topic.
- Spot checks confirm reference 24, 38, 45 and 64.
it contains no original research;
- All relevant statements have inline citations.
- Reference 105 states she kept the museum open throughout the 1920s and 1930s but the source states that she did so until her death, which took place in 1938. I think it reasonable for the reader to infer that she did not keep the museum after her death, but this could be clarified in the text.
  - Clarified. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism;
- Earwig gives a 15.3% chance of copyright violation, which means that it is unlikely. The greatest match is with Saytanov's article that is cited in the text. The overlap seems to be mainly proper nouns.
It is broad in its coverage
it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
- The article is compliant.
it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
- The article goes into a lot of detail but is generally compliant.
It has a neutral point of view.
it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to different points of view.
- The article seems generally balanced and covers potentially controversial aspects like her experiences with others in a non-confrontational way.
It is stable.
it does not change significantly from day to day because of any ongoing edit war or content dispute.
- There is no evidence of edit wars.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
images are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content;
- The images have appropriate PD tags, but Sof'ja e Petr Kropotkin.jpg lacks a US PD tag.
  - Removed until I can confirm compliance with Mickey Mouse law. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:04, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
- The images are appropriate. Although not a GA criteria, suggest adding ALT text for accessibility.
