I'll review this in the next few days. James^x12345 19:36, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

• I was going to make a few points about the intro but it actually reads quite well and is reasonably clear and concise.
• "living on the local farms" - I had to "check back" to see that her father was a solicitor. I don't know if that is a reflection on my state of mind or whether more emphasis on her privileged upbringing would help readers.
• "in which place" - "where"

• Done.

• "...they lived for nine years." - needs a ref.

• Done.

• "The novel was very favourably received." - this sentence is very abrupt, and there are a few comments from papers in the source that could be added in.

• Rephrased.

• I'm not sure what to make of all the red links. Hopefully they will encourage the creation of the necessary articles, but at the moment it looks very 2004.

• It does indeed, sadly. I might get around to creating a few myself in due course.

• "...United States with her children..." - this came as something of a surprise. I think the birth of at least the first one should be mentioned.

• It did, I've rephrased to put this point first.

• "in order to benefit his health" - some more explanation (if available) would be good.

• Explained as for the better climate.

• "and only minimal writing till the end of her life." - this isn't quite right.

• In what way? Do you mean that the Traherne introduction counts as more than minimal?

• I understand your meaning now--wording, not meaning. Reworded accordingly.

• I see the children are mentioned here. As before, I think it would be more effective if they were fitted in chronologically.

• Probably should. The biographies I use don't linger on her children, but I will try and find where they fit in.

• Fitted the children into the biography.

• The Fountain, given that it was a bestseller, should be linked, although there doesn't appear to be an article.

• Linked, but unlikely to receive an article unless I do it!

• "and furthermore was not entirely complimentary towards her" - "and was not entirely complimentary of her work" (if this is the case.)

• Done.

• What is an aper?

• Apparently someone who imitates. Perhaps Jones is meaning that the anglicized squirarchy of the border counties imitate English affectations? Not sure.

This article is very nicely written, and was a pleasure to read. Just a few minor points before it can be passed. James^x12345 20:16, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I created a navbox at Template:Hilda Vaughan that you might find useful. James^x12345 20:28, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Much appreciate the review and the navbox. I'll get around to enacting these changes when I have the time to do then justice in the next few days. Cheers, MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 10:52, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Addressed some of the points. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 22:43, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about the massive delay in getting round to this - I've been bogged down with exams. This article is looking really good now, and I have no problem passing it for GA status. James^x12345 17:18, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for the review! MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 18:08, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
