[edit]
Lady Florence Baker
... that one of the searchers for the source of the Nile had been an orphan and a slave, but she died, named Lady Florence Baker (pictured)?

A life for a novel! Good sources. I don't think we need United Kingdom twice in one lead sentence. "not Africa" should start capital or - better - be reworded. The image is free and shows her well. My hook version - please polish - would be- ALT1: ... that a searcher (pictured) for the source of the Nile was raised as an orphan, traded a slave, but died Lady Florence Baker? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:18, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Gerda (I removed the word female as redundant) looks fine Victuallers (talk) 13:52, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
Subscription and offline sources accepted AGF. Please get rid of the header starting lowercase, add the birth_name - here so different - to the infobox, and add a date to the second image, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:42, 15 September 2015 (UTC)- ps: in the unwanted case of no image, "female" should be added, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:43, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Gerda, I don't see a QPQ; it is required. Also, why would "female" be needed when her name is "Lady Florence Baker"? "Lady" makes "female" unnecessary regardless of image use. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:12, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
