Overall: 
A worthy article and interesting hooks. Just a few minor points. Firstly, I have made some minor language corrections to the article (these will not affect the review). Secondly, ALT1 should say "membership of." Thirdly, the QPQ is pending. When these points are resolved, the nomination should be complete. Storye book (talk) 15:00, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the copyedits and review, Storye book. I have added my QPQ above. One minor quibble – are you sure "despite her membership of two of Scotland's largest landowning families" is good grammar? Ruby2010 (talk) 03:10, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply and the QPQ. The difficulty here with "membership in" is that it is American English, whereas the article is a British biography, which requires the British English version, "membership of." See Cambridge Dictionary which compares the two. If you still feel uncomfortable with this, perhaps the phrase could be changed to something like "Despite belonging to two"?

- Ah, that makes sense! As I am a native AmEng speaker, I will accept your wording that uses BrEng due to the subject. I liked your suggestion of "belonging", but then that created "to two" which I felt was a tad jarring. Added new ALT2 below (only change from ALT1 is one word).

Thank you, Ruby, ALT2 is fine. Your patience with this is much appreciated. It's a worthwhile article; thank you for creating it. Storye book (talk) 11:13, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
