This article is new enough and long enough. The nature and purpose of the mission to Turkestan is unclear in the article and the first hook (though I see it in the source) so I have struck the original hook. ALT1 has an inline citation, the image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:35, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. She was a "war botanist"(MyPOV) ... I've tried to make this more clear. thxagain Victuallers (talk) 11:44, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
