Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

Pix[edit]

All three are relevant and appropriately licensed.
Not a pass/fail issue but would be optimal to have alt text for accessibility
- Done

Copyvio[edit]

Earwig gives nothing and I'll do some spotchecks

Spotchecks[edit]

5a "As an adult, she taught herself to speak French and to play the piano" bit close to source which says "As an adult she taught herself French and began studying piano" - I know there aren't many words to play with but you could say for example "learnt French"
- Done
5b fine
5c fine
5d fine
9a fine
9c fine
9h fine
10b AGF
6i "These plans were interrupted when she caught a cold that progressed into bronchitis and then pneumonia." bit close to source which says "Her cold had developed into bronchitis, and from there progressed to bronchitis" - I think i'd be happy if "progressed" was changed to another word
- Done
3h fine
3o fine

References[edit]

Referenced to reliable sources, well laid-out.
Inconsistent use of publisher location but that's not a GA pass/fail issue

Prose[edit]

Reads well overall
"They moved in with Cyprus Powers" - what relation is Cyrus to them?
- Done
"While she held fashionable society in contempt, she enjoyed observing their behavior and participating in social parties" - society is singular, so maybe "people's behaviour"
- Done
" was an active first lady that hosted many social events" - "who hosted"?
- Done
"she designed the White House interior in the mind of a middle-class home" does "mind" make sense in US-eng? Reads funny to me, I guess I'd say "like" or "in the way of"
- Done
"As an antebellum first lady, " is antebellum the best word choice? because for me it refers more to Antebellum South, but this might be another US/Br eng thing
- Done
salon not wikilinked in article
- Done
lead good

Various[edit]

Stable, focused, neutral, broad, no OR
