sourcing: the ODNB is obviously a reliable source of the highest quality. The other sources I am less sure of. Bayly is essentially a primary source and needs to be used with caution: see my comment above on that. Reynolds looks like a questionable source to me: it's super dated, which might be okay if it were by a historian, but he was apparently a journalist and penny dreadful author. It's probably okay to cite for Reynolds' opinion, but there is surely a better source for what Grey was actually charged with?
42: 214:
Unfortunately in this case she does seem to be notable solely for her relationship with Grey! I do think putting his name upfront would make the lead read somewhat more clearly, though I see why you didn't initially. I also think that we should call him Lord of Warke rather than Earl of Tankerville
195:
I think my rationale for not naming him in the first sentence was that all too often women are defined by their husbands/lovers but clarity is foremost so I also wouldn't mind to change it. On that note, yes he was Ford Grey, Lord Grey of Warke then became Ford Grey, 1st Earl of Tankerville later on
402:
oh yeah that's a good spot. hmmm. the bouchard source says "Henrietta was then said to have been 4 months pregnant and unwell: according to a lampoon at the time she subsequently β€˜scap’t great danger at the birth of her child’ in Cleve." but I'd expect ODNB to be authoritative so I'm unsure what to
496:
yes the ODNB is def the authoritative source here, and I've added that to the court charge paragraph. so the only Thomas Bayly Howell ref is to the transcription itself and George William MacArthur Reynolds is being used for two flowery quotes. the first one probably could be cut on the grounds of
478:
Looking back at the GA criteria, you're basically fine on points 4-6 (neutrality, stability, images). Point 3 (broad in coverage) is fine – considering how little reliable sources say about Berkeley's life, you've managed to write a remarkably thorough article. I have one final concern regarding
184:
The first paragraph of the lead avoids mentioning Grey's name until right at the end, so it has to refer to him by various epithets ("her elder sister's husband", "her lover") instead. I think it would probably be clearer to refer to him as "her elder sister's husband,
511:
Yeah, all looks good. I'm not opposed to the quotes on principle – they give good colour to the article! I just want to make sure we're not relying on sensational 19th century reportage for matters of actual fact. I'm going to promote this now.
417:
I would be inclined to change it to something like "Berkeley, reportedly pregnant, fled with him...", and cite it to the ODNB entry for Berkeley. You could add an endnote explaining that the ODNB says she

issue), or at least qualifying it with something like "reported in court to be" – I don't know that we should uncritically accept George Berkeley's claims that his daughter was
126: 278:– none of the sources cited in this paragraph seem to support "virgin", and I have no idea how we can possibly know that for a fact at a remove of several centuries. 80: 156: 122: 70: 52: 107: 99: 361:
This one's a failure of my reading comprehension – for some reason I had read "in Grey's room" where you (correctly!) write "in Berkeley's room".
382:– the DNB entry for Ford Grey says that she was pregnant, but the one for Henrietta herself merely says that she was "rumoured" to be pregnant. 192:
In fact, on that note, he wasn't yet Earl of Tankerville at that point. Should he be referred to as "Ford Grey, Lord Grey of Werke" instead?
197: 186: 342:
she sent another sister (Lady Arabella) to check for evidence in Berkeley's room at Berkeley House (later Devonshire House) in London
517: 150: 347:
Yes Berkeley here stands for Henrietta Berkeley. Is it not clear enough? Could change "sent another sister" to "sent her sister"
75: 513: 146: 115: 17: 299:
ping wildly. I'd suggest either cutting "virgin" (secondary sources don't seem to report it, suggesting a possible
484: 431: 390: 366: 312: 220: 215:
in the lead – changing titles are confusing either way, but I think they're more confusing used anachronistically.
171: 92: 440:
Cool I've changed it to reportedly and added a footnote, since I think "reportedly" needs an explanation
480: 458: 427: 386: 362: 308: 216: 167: 403:
do when the two entries are in conflict. could add "reportedly" and add the bouchard on that sentence?
502: 466: 445: 408: 352: 326: 296: 286: 264: 234: 205: 521: 506: 488: 470: 449: 435: 412: 394: 370: 356: 330: 316: 290: 268: 238: 224: 209: 175: 160: 344:
the source cited says Arabella checked "her sister's" (presumably Henrietta's) room.
300: 426:
pregnant in its entry on Berkeley if you think the discrepancy is worth discussing.
498: 462: 441: 404: 348: 322: 282: 260: 230: 201: 497:
being too flowery, the second one i think is a decent opinion to end the article
250:
Her father, George Berkeley, 1st Earl of Berkeley, decided to prosecute her lover

thanks for the careful reading. all comments answered, some with queries

so probably the former is better ... although nowadays he is known as

Sure, I've added Lord Grey of Warke to the first sentence
