Will post comments on the next day. Regards, ----Plea$ant 1623 ✉ 15:22, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lead: Looks pretty good overall.

Early life and education: No issues.

Career

"marked the start of the so-called Lady Blue". You can change it to just "marked the start of the Lady Blue".
"In 1907, Faithfull became principal of Cheltenham Ladies' College succeeding Dorothea Beale." --> "In 1907, Faithfull became the principal of Cheltenham Ladies' College, succeeding Dorothea Beale."
The honorary MA and the Commander of the British Empire part should come after the the principal of Cheltenham Ladies' College and the Justice of the Peace part.
Why there is no mention how she died?

Doesn't say in the ODNB.

"She was buried in Cheltenham" --> "After her death, she was buried in Cheltenham"
The last sentence which mentions that Faithfull never married looks a bit awkward, mostly because it is mentioned after the sentences mentioning her death. It'll be better if you move it to somewhere more suitable (like after the The Constant Nymph sentence).

Sources

What makes www.lilianfaithfull.co.uk a reliable source?

It's the website for her housing, so I think its appropriate to source the housing to the official website.

The other sources are good.

I will pass the article after the comments have been addressed. Regards, ----Plea$ant 1623 ✉ 07:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
