A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on August 30, 2017 and August 30, 2019.

In Bath and Marlow the article says There Mary Shelley gave birth to her third child, Clara. Yet later, in Italy, it says both her children—Clara, ... and William. It is confusing how many children she had before the birth of her fourth child, Percy Florence, on 12 November 1819. The beginning of the article says their second and third children died.

 Done, thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 22:16, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the page does not have an infobox. I feel that adding one would up the quality of the page, but am not familiar with how to best go about this. Zoms101 (talk) 18:43, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And I feel that it wouldn't. This has been discussed many times before, the most recent of which was only last year here and here, so please refer yourself to the many discussions in the archives that have previously been held. Thanks. Cassianto^Talk 18:52, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In this article it says that they eloped in 1814, however other sources say they married in 1816, would anyone mind fact-checking this, thanks.

Eloping and marrying are two different things. They eloped in 1814 when they ran off to continental Europe. In 1816 they got married. Hope that helps! Anboersma (talk) 16:18, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
