  •   Thought I’d review since I’ve read this previously. Everything is thoroughly referenced and neutrally phrased. The article is new enough and long enough. The only Earwig pings are from long quotes which I would suggest trimming but it’s not a DYK criteria so that’s ok. I do think the hook should be tweaked slightly—the sources say she was his only research assistant, which to my ear is different from being the books' sole researcher—latter sounds like he didn’t do any research which isn’t the case. The obvious fix is switching it to “the sole research assistant”, but Thriley if you have another idea I’m all ears. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:41, 13 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
