Review Comment

1. Well-written:
|
|
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
|
Lead
Franklin died of tuberculosis in 1869. This feels a bit out of place without also mentioning details of Jane's death, i.e. Franklin died of tuberculosis in 1869, six years after Jane, and was buried alongside her at Old North Cemetery. or something similar.
Early life
She was the youngest of three daughters and was followed by three brothers. Personal opinion, this sounds slightly confusing. Maybe change to She was the youngest of three daughters and had three younger brothers.
Later life and death
Maybe use a convert template for 60 acres into m^2?

1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.

Lead sections
Layout
- General layout of article content works well.
See comment in 2a regarding the Bibliography section—not sure why Wallner 2004 is the only book in that section and which uses sfn.
Words to watch
Fiction
List incorporation
|
2. Verifiable with no original research:
|
|
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
|
- Sources provided in the appropriate section of the article.
Not sure why Wallner 2004 is separately listed in the Bibliography section of the article, and uses an sfn template, when no other book sources are?
Jane Appleton Pierce Lane Memorial Library (www.hampton.lib.nh.us) needs an archived link as the current link as showing as "Not found".
- Looks like this source is now gone.
|
|
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).

The image of the 2010 commemorative coin is, according to the description page, an uncirculated coin. The U.S. Mint Intellectual Property Rights states that trademarks owned by the U.S. Mint include the United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set®. Do you know if that includes the Jane Pierce commemorative coin?

|
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
