- Note October 12th is Ada Lovelace Day, would be good to have a woman in STEM on the front page (but might be a bit late for this one!). DrThneed (talk) 19:34, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough |
---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Neutral: - Reads a bit too much like a résumé—any chance that could be taken care of?
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems: - The hook reuses the language without quotation, it would either have to be rephrased or quoted somehow. Also, I've suggested a cheeky (pun intended) hook that could be used for April Fools' day, if you'd like.
QPQ: Done. |
Overall: @DrThneed: We're almost there! Nice work on the article—just have to clear a few things up. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:24, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Theleekycauldron, Thanks for the ALT hook. I hadn't thought of it for April Fool's Day, I have no objections to it - do I need to repost the template in the special holding area for that? And yes I'll take a look another look at the article to make it less CV like (we're having a women in STEM editathon on Tues so I will do it then). Thanks! DrThneed (talk) 23:26, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- @DrThneed: not at all! I'll move the nom to the AFD area after I approve it. Sounds like a plan, let me know! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 23:50, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

- Ooops sorry User:Theleekycauldron this one dropped off my to do list, will ping when ready, hopefully tomorrow. DrThneed (talk) 07:22, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- No worries, DrThneed, take your time! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 07:23, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: the article has accumulated a few tweaks from other editors, and I've added more detail about some of the research. Do you still find it too résumé-like? Happy to change further, but you might need to be specific about what to change! Cheers DrThneed (talk) 23:44, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- i think we're good to go! cheers! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 01:31, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
