Theresa Robinson Buck
edit- ... that the hospital where Theresa Robinson Buck worked was renamed in her honour upon her death? Chikore Hospital has been renamed the Theresa Buck Memorial Hospital in honour of the late Theresa R. Buck
- ALT1:... that the United Church of Christ donated a bell to a hospital in Southern Rhodesia in memory of Theresa Robinson Buck?

- [edit conflict, guess I took too long doing this review]
Article creation and filing date okay. Article length okay. Article is neutral and sourced and seemingly unlikely to contain copyvios. ALT1 is the better hook, since it conveys both American and Rhodesian involvement with the subject. Hook length is okay, neutrality okay, and sourcing confirmed through online book search. QPQ done.

- That said, this article has some areas for improvement. An image of the subject would really help – and there is one available from the Mirror yearbook page 32. You can use it on a {{Non-free historic image}} license – I've done so in many cases such as this. The article should also state that she was white, because when Rhodesia was involved that always mattered. The yearbook indicates she is from Naples, Maine, so it should be made more clear that that's where she grew up, not Hartford, and Category:People from Naples, Maine should be added. Speaking of the yearbook, how is fn 4 any different from fn 3? Not clear, unless 4 is to a different year's book, in which case the reference needs to be more explicit. The link to Southern Rhodesia should be at the top, not later on. Hartford, Connecticut should be linked as should Naples, Maine. A period is missing after "Theresa Buck Memorial Hospital" and, to me, commas are needed after "on 25 May 1912" and "age of 12". Since she was sponsored by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the missionary category should be Category:American Protestant missionaries or even more specific if the denomination is clear. The article also needs some categories reflecting her being in Rhodesia for three decades, such as Category:White Rhodesian people and/or Category:American expatriates in Rhodesia (can be created – the category system is not well developed for any of Rhodesia).

- Thanks for your review and suggestions which I agree with in all cases. I think my recent edit to the article corrects all these, I didn't mention that she was white, it wa shard to work into the prose and I figured the photo was self explanatory. - Dumelow (talk) 01:53, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
Okay, the changes look good. Agree about the 'white'. Only thing I see now is "and appears to have spent her grown up there" which got a bit mangled. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:44, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
