I've listed this article for peer review because I wish to take it to FAC. Any and all feedback would be immensely helpful.
The article deals with Willa Cather, a 20th century woman author whose work about the plains brought it to wider view. A Pultizer Prize winner for her World War One novel One of Ours, she grew up in Virginia, then Nebraska, and spent her final years in New York and New Hampshire (also Quebec) with her domestic partner, Edith Lewis.

[edit]Looks very good. Well sourced, good use of images, good use of footnotes.
Some minor points: I would do some centering on the tombstone inscription, it's a little off-center due to the picture just before it. Also, typically with any BLP, an infobox is customary. It's just helpful information for the reader. I think this would be highly useful here.
Beyond these couple minor issues, I see no other problems. I know other editors will, but for me, I don't. Good work! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 12:42 on April 10, 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'll see what I can do about the inscription. And I think you're right about the infobox... I removed it a while ago because I thought it was misleading ( there's no way to summarize someone so complex in such little space, right? :) ), but it does aid readers so should probably be added again.

- You don't have to pack it with a ton of information. Just the basic of basics. Look at Robert Frost for example. Simple, to the point. You can add the footnote about her birthyear. Use Frost's as a guide. But otherwise, you don't have a the entire article as a summary within the infobox. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:22 on April 11, 2021 (UTC)
- I made a couple of minor improvements to the infobox. Feel free to revert them as you see fit. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:13 on April 11, 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good! One major issue for me was not being able to add Edith Lewis to the infobox... I should have read the documentation a bit more. Thank you. Urve (talk) 08:49, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- No worries. :) I'm still having an issue with the tombstone inscription. But I trust that you'll take care of it. I see no other issues. Again, very well done. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 09:09 on April 11, 2021 (UTC)
