Brooks's relationships
[edit]The article contained a long list of people Brooks supposedly had relationships with, which seems more like a list of people she met at one point or another. I've removed the following:
- Oscar Wilde's lover Lord Alfred Douglas
- wealthy socialite Luisa Casati, writers Djuna Barnes, Radclyffe Hall, and Nancy Cunard, and Venice Baroness Mimì Franchetti.
If any of these are documented in reliable sources then by all means add them back, but I have Meryle Secrest's biography of Brooks, Souhami's joint biography of Brooks and Natalie Barney, and the other major biographies of Natalie Barney -- plus biographies of Hall, Cunard, and Barnes -- and I can't find support for any of them. —Celithemis 13:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
GA Reassessment
[edit]- This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Romaine Brooks/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.
GA Sweeps: On hold
[edit]As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to determine if the article should remain a Good article. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. However, in reviewing the article, I have found an issue that needs to be addressed.
- The article currently has nine non-free images. This needs to be cut down to three or four at most. I would suggest the main image, the piano image, and one or two others that are discussed in detail in the text. An external link is already provided which shows all of her images, so readers can visit the link if they want to see some of these images.
I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. If no progress is made, the article may be delisted, which can then later be renominated at WP:GAN. I'll contact all of the main contributors and related WikiProjects so the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 17:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think it should maintain its GA status. Actually there are only 4 non-free images. The rest qualify under {[pd-1923-abroad]} as they were publically exhibited before 1923. I think the four can remain...Modernist (talk) 20:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
GA Sweeps: Kept
[edit]Thanks for clarifying on the images. Any of the free images, if free in the originating country, should be moved to Commons so others can benefit from their use. I believe there is sufficient rationale for the non-free images for GA, but there may be some issues if this article were to head to FAC at some point. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to update the access dates for all of the online sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 06:11, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- Good job, thank you...Modernist (talk) 11:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Sexual orientation
[edit]She's described as a lesbian in the article, though listed under bisexual categories as well. Can we clear this up?Mcc1789 (talk) 17:57, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
