Comments as requested
[edit]Apart from the sentence beginning "The GPO detectives had a periscope mirror", which I didn't understand at all, it all seems fine to me. Tim riley talk 07:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Wonderful. Thank you! - SchroCat (talk) 08:35, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Apols: two more points:
- "The letters continued to be delivered, including by Gooding's husband". He received rather than delivered his letters presumably, so perhaps "...continued to be received..."?
- "The Swans moved house away from Western Road" - shouldn't this be "The Goodings..."? Tim riley talk 11:10, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
- Lovely - thanks for catching those. - SchroCat (talk) 11:23, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

[edit]
- ... that in the Littlehampton libels, Edith Swan fooled three juries and two judges, had another woman sent to prison twice and was declared not guilty before finally being convicted?

Overall: Interesting subject. Article looks good. Nice work. (On a minor note, I changed the hook from had another women sent to prison twice
to had another woman sent to prison twice
, as it appears to have been a typo.) BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:31, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
