I have nominated one of Adrianne's articles to be a Featured Article of the Day (at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests#Original Stories from Real Life) in hopes that it might be able to run on April 14 or 26. Peter, or anyone else who knew her better than I, if you feel that this is not appropriate, please do tell me and I will of course withdraw the nomination. NW (Talk) 19:11, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Original Stories from Real Life will be appearing on the main page of Wikipedia as today's featured article on April 26, 2014, as a tribute to Adrianne on the day of her memorial service. This followed a discussion at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Original Stories from Real Life.
It would be appreciated if readers of this talk page could take a moment to look at the article to see if it needs any attention before its main page appearance, and / or if they could add the article to their watchlist and keep an eye on edits made on April 26.
The blurb as it stands now is below:
Original Stories from Real Life is the only complete work of children's literature by the 18th-century British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. It begins with a frame story that sketches out the education of two young girls by their maternal teacher Mrs. Mason, followed by a series of didactic tales. The book was first published by Joseph Johnson in 1788; a second, illustrated edition, with engravings (pictured) by William Blake, was released in 1791 and remained in print for around a quarter of a century. Wollstonecraft employed the then burgeoning genre of children's literature to promote the education of women and an emerging middle-class ideology. She argued that women would be able to become rational adults if they were educated properly as children, which was not a widely held belief in the 18th century, and contended that the nascent middle-class ethos was superior to the court culture represented by fairy tales and to the values of chance and luck found in chapbook stories for the poor. Wollstonecraft, in developing her own pedagogy, also responded to the works of the two most important educational theorists of the 18th century: John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

![]() | On 17 July 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fanny Bullock Workman, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that with her 1906 ascent of Pinnacle Peak (22,735 ft or 6,930 m) in the Himalaya, Fanny Bullock Workman (pictured) set an altitude record for women that stood until 1934? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fanny Bullock Workman. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.
