- An interesting article, I will review shortly. TSventon (talk) 19:05, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
@Lajmmoore:, The article is well written (and no longer an orphan). It is clearly 5x expanded, new enough and long enough. No POV problems and no obvious copyvio via Earwig. Images are from 1847 so no copyright problems.- QPQ has been completed.
- The hook is intriguing, but could you double check that the hook facts are in the article with references following immediately. I couldn't find "divorcee", "travelled to Polynesia in 1847" is OK, "working as an illustrator" and "drawing people such as Queen Pōmare IV" are not immediately followed by references.
- The hook image is interesting and free to use.TSventon (talk) 22:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- Another hook issue, note 11 in the source says she was "More precisely, separated from her husband, as recorded in French archives under the 19th century legal term separée de corps (de la Grandville 2001: 22)." fr:Séparation de corps en France looks like separation rather than divorce.

- Thanks very much TSventon I think I have picked up these issues and those on the talk page. I'll propose a tweaked ALT so as to not include the marriage details:
- ALT1 ... that Adèle de Dombasle helped pioneer women's exploration in Oceania and worked as an illustrator, drawing people such as Queen Pōmare IV (pictured)? Source: "Adèle de Dombasle managed to produce several tens of drawings during her travels in Polynesia (and Chile). These represent monuments and sites from the Marquesas, Tahitian and Marquesan inhabitants with elements of material culture, landscapes and portraits—including from historical figures such as Queen Pomaré." & the pioneer statement derives from the section in https://archaeologybulletin.org/articles/10.5334/bha-656 "Finding the Pacific Matildas" (first paragraph) Lajmmoore (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
@Lajmmoore:, thank you, I can approve Alt1 and have struck Alt0. TSventon (talk) 22:47, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
