Comments
- "with several Scottish families in 1771. " several compatriots in?
Done
- Link Philadelphia.
Done
- Link bookbinding.
Done
- "She printed and bound about 400 volumes" repetitive, perhaps just follow on from the previous
sentence, like "and about 400 volumes..."
Done
- "Christian Bible" is there another notable Bible other than the Christian one?
Done
- Death inline references not needed in the infobox, they can go in the prose.
Done
- Usually talk about her mother/father before her siblings.
Done
- Link bookbinder again in the main body.
Done
- "which she ran at North Third Street" what happened to the other place?
Done
- "which is 500 feet " was, and convert.
Done
- "Then in 1808 her " -> "The following year, ..."
Done
- "from notes he had signed for" from notes for which he had signed. And what are these "notes"?
Done
- "54,258" reduce that precision to nearest $1000.
Done
- "known as Miss Jane Aitken.[1]" no need for italics.
Done
- "than the actual printing" no need for "actual".
Done
- "shows similarity to her binding work from 1802 to 1812 and shows that perhaps" shows shows... and this feels speculative. Who is making this connection, it's not Wikipedia.
Done
- "She was advertising" She advertised.
Done
- " friend of hers" friend of Aitken
Done
- "equipment was sold off" no need for "off".
Done
- "20 miles " convert.
Done
- Works - convert this to a gallery like I did in one of your other articles and utilise the caption option instead of "Some of her other works were -"...
Done
- "of the Christian Bible" okay so maybe there are other notable Bibles! But you link that here, but not in the lead.
Done
- "most important book she produced during" which "she"?
Done
- "Other early businesswomen in contention" not sure this is really relevant to the article.
Done
- "1820-1900" endash.
Done
- That's all I have for today. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 11:43, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment
This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements.

- Not my fault. Those came from the infobox, which I deliberately refrained from recreating, since I couldn't confirm that the picture was actually of this Jane Aitken. XOR'easter (talk) 18:10, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
