This is a very interesting article about a very notable place. But it lacks sources. There should be footnotes on these sentences referring to books or articles. The primary author might try asking the Maret School, which occupies Woodley, for a list of books or articles that talk about the history, and then citing particular page numbers for the assertions in the article.

Much better, with footnoted sentences. Now try to find some more different sources. You can doubtless find interesting and citable things about Woodley in the biographies of the various notable residents listed in the article. There are still some format problems with the External Links part, and citing a calendar is not the usual thing, but this is a pretty good start. When using just one thing repeatedly, you repeat cites using "ref name =" the article now shows how this is done. ElijahBosley ^{(talk ☞)} 15:54, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures[edit]

By the way this kind of article cries out for pictures. Upload them to Wikimedia. Make sure they are uncopyrighted: pictures you took yourself, or pictures Maret School makes publically available, or old historical pictures.ElijahBosley ^{(talk ☞)} 17:19, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I added pictures for the residents! I'm not sure if the formatting is standard; I was teaching myself... But I think it looks a good deal better now. Seldeezy —Preceding undated comment added 20:27, 6 January 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Excellent! And the format looks fine to me. I was thinking more of pictures of the mansion itself, since pictures of inhabitants may work better on their respective pages, but looking at that series of pictures and seeing the historical change in clothing does give one a sense of the longevity of the building.
