Hello Craig Davidson. Thank you for reviewing the draft of my article. I will take a harder look at the MOS and get back after I have done so. Anobium625 (talk) 00:06, 11 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have made a great many changes to this page, aimed principally at removing trivia, adding citations, and adopting a neutral tone. I have also added appropriate categories. Anobium625 (talk) 21:46, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of Interest Statement

I am not connected with Constance Savery except as a reader. Having written a 100,000-word scholarly biography of her life with over 800 references, principally to family correspondence, I cite that book in the Savery article. I am an acknowledged authority on Constance Savery. Other candidates as Savery experts are Linda Long, who is responsible for the Savery papers at the University of Oregon; Ellen Ruffin, who is curator of the de Grummond Children's Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi, another repository of Savery material; Anne Manuel, librarian at Savery's alma mater, Somerville College; and Jeremy Hummerstone, Savery's literary heir. Any of these will acknowledge my competence regarding Savery. Anobium625 (talk) 19:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have taken quite seriously the criticisms directed at this page.

(1) "This article may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail…" The article contains far fewer details than previously. I would welcome recommendations for further deletions from disinterested editors, and, of course, such an editor can perform his or her own deletions.

(2) "This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia." The current version is much more neutral in tone than the original. Unless I have a comment or correction from someone in the next month, I will delete this criticism.•

(3) "This article needs additional citations for verification." A great number of additional citations have been added, but there remains a strong reliance on Another Lady, the Savery biography that I wrote. The biography was drawn largely from the correspondence of the Savery family, and those letters are available from their respective archives at the University of Southern Mississippi and the University of Oregon. I presume the letters themselves are a primary source, the digital copies, a secondary source, and the biography, a tertiary source.
