New (mainspaced February 4), long enough, within policy, no copyvio found via spot check, DYK is user's first, so no
QPQ necessary. I see two issues, one more relevant for this review than the other. The first is that the article doesn't cite sources to confer
notability. This would be
significant coverage in multiple
reliable,
independent sources (
?), e.g., articles that cite her contribution to the field, books or chapters about her life. It'd be nice to add those things now, but notability it is slightly outside the scope of this review. Otherwise, the two unsourced paragraphs need references, and that's what we need to move on. Hook source mentions a special, not a documentary, so I rephrased (article should be rephrased too). Please ping me if I don't respond. czar♔ 13:53, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello
Czar, thanks for the review. Firstly on notability, before I started I reviewed
WP:PROF and believe that the subject meets the guideline by satisfying criterion 5 (Distinguished Professor at major institution) and while I haven't brought this out in the article because I wasn't sure how, criterion 7 ( impact outside academia) by media appearances related to her field. I'll add something in on that, make sure the referencing is clear and tweak the hook, will ping you when done. Thanks

Hi there

Looks good (everything's sourced). I still think there's an issue with too much primary sourcing (or not enough secondary sourcing, e.g., reviews of her work or entries that aren't the likely self-submitted author bio), but that'd be for someone else to take up. Good work, and congrats on your first DYK! czar♔ 13:25, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Point noted! Hopefully someone who knows more about the subject and has access to scientific literature can help out with that, I struggled to find any online for free. Thanks :)
