Overall: 
The article was moved to mainspace on August 10, 2024. It has a prose size of 3343 characters. Each paragraph in the body of the article has at least one reference. WP:EARWIG did not find any copyvios. QPQ was done. The hook is cited, interesting, and not too long. I'm not sure that the term "curator" is correct in this context. Does one of the sources use it? Or should it be "supplier"? I suggest adding a short description. Phlsph7 (talk) 12:35, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Curator seemed like the closest term to explain what the Royal warrant had her doing. She was in charge of going through and deciding the lighting fixtures and accompaniments for all the lighting in Buckingham Palace (and for any of the Royal's homes that requested it). Supplier would imply she just handed over pieces from her shop, but her involvement seemed to be more than that. How about this, I made some changes to what terms were in the hook, going with the term actually used directly by the reference. Is that better, Phlsph7? SilverserenC 15:04, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Looks good. I was considering whether "was made" should be replaced with "became" but I don't think it makes much of a difference so I'll leave it to your judgement.
Approved.
- Silver seren, I couldn't find the information for the "childhood and education" in the first reference. Could you double check and give some pointers on how I should verify this info. Sohom (talk) 11:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- This reference? It's in the box on the left side of the page, Sohom Datta. SilverserenC 15:37, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
