255:. Yes, I think the article could probably pass without having to track down new sources. The main issue is the lack of inline sources. I have a small concern about some light interpretation of sources that, while probably correct, may not be fully supported (such as the sentence about challenging naming conventions). I don't mind removing something like this myself, though I'd hate to remove something that could be easily cited by someone more knowledgeable on the subject than myself. That said, someone could always add the cut material back in with the appropriate source whenever they have the time.

187:"Valentine was an avid reader and spent hours in her father's library. Her family was well-off and provided her with a formal education commensurate with her societal standing, but she wished to attend college. However, at the time, most universities in Virginia did not admit women, and Valentine would never go on to receive a degree." --: -->

I'm happy to copyedit, clean up formatting/citations, etc., but probably don't have the capacity myself to do things like track down new sources or really dive into the content of the existing sources.

again, it would be preferable to move one of these citations in-line, if possible. It appears the virginia.gov source covers everything but the indigestion and migraines detail. Also, for a journal source, please cite the specific page number you're referencing in addition to the span of the full

the ref establishes that she did in fact send letters under her maiden name, but not that she did this specifically to challenge social conventions. That part part needs to be cited or removed. It would also be helpful to state specifically which name she did write

there are two refs given for the last sentence. Is it possible to inline either of these refs, to make it clear which source the information is coming from? Also, I may have overlooked it, but I don't see where either source explicitly states she never received a
210:). Please address the issues above, and provide inline citations throughout, and I will be happy to continue the review. I would like to see the article pass as it's an important subject, and I'm a native Richmonder :) I'm placing it on hold for now.
197:"She and her husband had a stillborn child in 1888 but had no surviving children. She never fully regained her health after the birth and a subsequent surgery; she suffered attacks of indigestion and migraines for the remainder of her life" --: -->

Ref 9 establishes that
Richard Hardaway Meade established the Meade & Baker Apothecary, but not that Lila was his daughter. Therefore, I think another reference to establish the connection is needed.

Looking forward from here, I see that all of the citations are grouped at the ends of each paragraph. This is out of compliance with the MOS (See:
