In InfoBox, change "Period: 1787 to 1809-11" to "Period: 1787 to 1817"
Reason: Austen was writing until her death in 1817. I can find no explanation in the text to suggest any reason to have an ambiguous 1809-11 as the end of her writing period. 2A00:23C6:AB81:6601:F121:3003:FD01:EE92 ( talk) 12:42, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Change "The literary critic Noel King asserted rather stupidly in 1953" to "The literary critic Noel King commented in 1953".
Reason: the current sentence does not fit Wikipedia's neutral point of view standards.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Given that the section in question isn't a simple list, you need to specify exactly how you'd like to see it incorporated into the text. PianoDan ( talk) 19:14, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
[1] May be of some use to the article. 2602:24A:DE47:B8E0:1B43:29FD:A863:33CA ( talk) 23:01, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
I found one possible answer in a 2002 study by researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The study found that women who experience early-onset menopause, or premature ovarian failure, are three hundred times more likely to develop autoimmune destruction of the adrenal glands—or Addison’s Disease." The source she uses is this one. All a bit speculative. Martinevans123 ( talk) 23:12, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

As each generation of eldest sons received inheritances, the wealth was divided [...] Isn't the object of primogeniture to keep the wealth undivided? Austen's father must have been a younger brother, who did not inherit anything. Weatherford ( talk) 18:58, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Iv'e added a link here to a Jane Austen page outlining her links, however after a little bit of research, I could not track down a valid article through newspaper archives to solidify this to add to this page, if someone else has more patience than me to track down a reliable source to confirm this then that'd be great.

In 1923, R.W. Chapman published the first scholarly edition of Austen's collected works, which was also the first scholarly edition of any English novelist. Syzygytop ( talk) 07:32, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
I see this book is available: Jane Austen's Lost Novel: Its Importance for Understanding the Development of Her Art. Edited with an Introduction and Notes by P.J. Allen. (ISBN: 9781800460140)
But I don't find other notice of it, including here. "Two Girls of Eighteen" of 1806 is credited to George Walker (novelist) without comment.
Has anyone here considered adding this? ABS ( talk) 23:32, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
Dear Austenites of Wikipedia: Please could you go and look at /info/en/?search=D%27Arcy_Wentworth#Private_life. Wentworth's a fascinating character - the first European to voluntarily emigrate to Australia - but people keep vandalizing his page with some nonsense (citing a self-published book) saying that he and Austen were secretly married at Gretna in 1789 but her family disapproved and so he ran away to Sydney and she named Mr. Darcy and Col. Wentworth after him. Unfortunately, because no-one has posted an explicit source saying that this *is* nonsense, it gets put back every time it's removed. Thanks. 194.74.34.226 ( talk) 14:30, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Under ===Genre and style=== the quoted passage from Pride and Prejudice has "... and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form that the groundwork of disapprobation". The word "that" is a typo. It should read "and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation".— Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.138.49.42 ( talk • contribs) 07:58, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
