replies: text: I'm arranging to view Bax's "Collected Letters" of Farr, Shaw and Yeats, since I've found that the University of California-Berkeley has copies on file (but only viewable in the library.) They also have copies of other books about Farr, including some already cited, so I will be able to make better cites with page numbers in a week of so. JMax555 16:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: A-class

message: *Dr. Farr was known as an advocate of equal education and professional rights for women,[3] which doubtlessly influenced his daughters' attitudes in their later lives.
Should be who not which.
*Farr, May Morris and other friends posed for Sir Edward Burne-Jones' Pre-Raphaelite painting, "The Golden Stairs" when she was 19 years old. 
Fragment consider re-writing.
*psaltery harp or psaltry harp ?
*Yeats also lived in Bedford Park, and it's likely she first made his acquaintance when her brother-in-law was painting Yates' portrait.[2]
This sentence is awkward reading.  Are Yeats and Yates the same person, and is this the his acquaintance she is meeting?
*She continued taking minor roles at the Folly (including a performance two days after her father's death on 14 April), but changed her stage name back to Florence Farr when she began performing at the Gaiety Theatre in May.
This is a lo-o-o-n-n-g sentence.
*With her commanding presence and beautiful speaking voice (noted by Shaw), she soon attained modest success on London's West End stages, and in 1884 she married fellow actor Edward Emery
This sentence should be two - it contains two seperate ideas, and shouldn't be run on together.
*Beginning in 1882, Farr served an eight-month apprenticeship under the actor-manager J. L. Toole at the Folly Theatre on King William IV Street near Charing Cross, originally adopting the stage name of Mary Lester (in deference to her father's wishes, who did not want the Farr name associated with the theatre.) 
Should't be the actor-manager but only Farr served an eight-month apprenticeship under actor-manager  -  also this is a very lo-o-o-n-n-g sentence.
*. One of her childhood friends was May Morris, the daughter of Jane Morris, the renowned Pre-Raphaelite artist's model, who introduced her to the artistic and intellectual circles of London society
Another long sentence.  Who was it that introduced Farr to the circles, was it May or Jane?
*Farr, May Morris and other friends posed for Sir Edward Burne-Jones' Pre-Raphaelite painting, "The Golden Stairs" when she was 19 years old. 
This sentence could be worded the other way around - there are many she's in the sentence - is it right to assume when Farr was 19 years old, when there are many young ladies mentioned in the sentence?
*Notes 3 does not attach to a reference.  Bax (1971) 
*Note 10 King 1978, does not attach to any reference unless it should be 1977?
*Images check out OK 
*Other names should be mentioned in the info box and introductory paragraph - Mary Lester 
* From Wikipedia:Lead section
Next to establishing context, the lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article (e.g. when a related article gives a brief overview of the topic in question). It is even more important here than for the rest of the article that the text be accessible, and consideration should be given to creating interest in reading the whole article (see news style and summary style).

replies: text: Maybe because one of them is what she published and the other one is about her. The first could be retitled Works. O Kolymbitès (talk) 13:07, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
