Rutgers
editThanks for taking the time to add the appropriate categories, MensanDeltiologist. Is there a reason for removing Category:Rutgers University alumni, however? Herben went to both Rutgers University and Cornell University Medical College, so I would think both would be correct. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:57, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- Just made a mistake when I subcategorized for Cornell. Fixed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MensanDeltiologist (talk • contribs) 00:00, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Sorry to see the very long GA review wait. I'll be able to get to this some time this week. Looking forward to the read. Ajpolino (talk) 06:30, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- Sounds good, Ajpolino. Thanks for taking on the review. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:27, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
- The article is excellent. Probably the easiest GA pass I've seen (Although it's a shame there are no available photographs from his professional life). I'm marking the article as pass now, but if you could rephrase the one sentence I mention below, that would help make the article the tiniest bit more readable. Thanks for the excellent read! Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 05:23, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks very much, Ajpolino. I broke that sentence into two and reworded it. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:12, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
