Angie Turner King's Notability

Angie Lena Turner King was on WikiProject Women in Science's list of scientists without pages, and she was referred to on a Wikipedia (Katherine Jackson). She appears to be the first African-American woman to get a mathematics PhD at the University of Pittsburgh, may be the first to get a joint mathematics/chemistry PhD, and seems to be only the 5th African-American woman to get a mathematics PhD. She also received an alumnus of the year award, and she appears in key books chronicling pioneering African-American women in science.Hildabast (talk) 01:18, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   " ... following the death of her mother at the age of eight" - needs rewording, sounds like her mother was eight years old.

   " ... she refurbished the laboratory to improve the quality of her students' laboratory experience" could do with one less "laboratory"

   " ... King died in Institute" - did she perhaps die "at" the institute"?

   " ... on June 9, 1946 in Institute" - "at" the institute"?

   " ... a charting member of the Alpha Omicron Omega" Did you perhaps mean charter member?

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

2. Is it verifiable with no original research?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   The only image used is a Fair Use image.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

• Maile66, thank you again for this thorough and comprehensive GA review of this article! I've addressed all of your comments above, with responses for each below. Please let me know if you have any additional questions, recommendations, or concerns in the meantime! -- West Virginian (talk) 14:53, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

• Regarding her mother's death, I've modified sentences in the lead and early life sections to specify that King was eight-years-old when her mother died.
• I've changed the laboratory sentence to state, "...improve the quality of her students' scientific research experience." I would also be open to changing this sentence to just state "students' experience."
• Because Institute is the place name of the unincorporated community where WVSU is located and where King resided, I stated that she died "in" Institute. It is a bit confusing, because the town was originally named after WVSU when it was variously called the "West Virginia Colored Institute" and "West Virginia Collegiate Institute." Please let me know if this requires any elaboration in the article text.
• Thank you for the catch regarding charting vs. charter member. I've corrected this in the text!

• West Virginian Job welll done, then. This one passes easily. — Maile (talk) 17:20, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
