I disagree with the most recent edits of this page made by Neelufar.k. As it's a course assignment I thought it would be helpful to explain why rather than undoing them myself.

Eileen Guppy worked for the Geological Survey of Great Britain. This organisation is now known as the British Geological Survey. This is why the link goes to this page. I don't think it is correct to say she worked at the British Geological Survey as this didn't exist at the time. Perhaps the text could say "Geological Survey of Great Britain (now known as the British Geological Survey)"?

People are awarded an Order of the British Empire (be that an OBE or MBE etc) for a particular service. In Guppy's case this was awarded for her service to the Geological Survey so the previous text was correct.

I agree that this change should be made for better clarity Sydney.Rodgers (talk) 19:22, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changes - Wiki Education assignment: Earth 209 - Introduction to Geology 2024

Throughout the past few months, we have carefully reviewed this article and made changes we thought necessary to improve its quality. We also noticed some key points in the article are continously altered throughout the reading, causing confusion for the readers. Our group observed that Guppy was in fact not a member of the Order of the British Empire but was awarded an MBE by said empire. As a result, we explained this in the sections; Geological Survey Career and Lead. In addition, the article stated that Guppy was one of two female geologist appointed as a technical assistant in the Geological Survey of Great Britain, however, we clarified that it is now known as the British Geological Survey. This change can be found under the Lead section. That being said, these changes, although minor, embellish the overall quality of this article while recognizing the important work of Eileen Guppy.
