[edit] NPOV

I enjoyed reading this article, and I made a number of copy edits. Also, since she sang a significant amount of G&S, I added the G&S category. From an encyclopedic point of view it contains a considerable amount of POV commentary, and it does not cite its sources very well. At a minimum, it should be clear what information comes from Stewart's biography and what comes from other sources. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 05:20, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

As listed in the references, the entire text (well, almost) is drawn from

Serle, Percival (1949). “Stewart, Nellie”, Dictionary of Australian Biography. Sydney: Angus and Robertson.

Percival Serle's Dictionary of Australian Biography (DAB) does indeed contain a considerable amount of POV commentary. The DAB entries provide basic information (better than none at all), and convenient starting points for people with closer knowledge of the subject to make better entries. If you have some knowledge, it would be great if you could write a better entry. Thanks for your interest. Jonathan O'Donnell 12:05, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

This article has a lot of good content but needs to be cleaned up to be promoted to B-class. -- Ssilvers 14:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Enough improvements have been made to upgrade to B-class, but more editing is needed. -- Ssilvers 21:05, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
