I'll have a look at this one. BencherliteTalk 09:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Prose and MOS - I made a couple of minor tweaks, but looks fine.
  • Broadness and focus - fine
  • Stability - fine
  • Images - one image, appropriately licensed
  • Neutrality - fine
  • Sources - reliable, and well-referenced without original research
  • Factual accuracy and verifiability - the only question / comment I have is about "As of 2011 she remains active as a lecturer, consultant, and curator of the Aeronautical Library Special Collections at Harvey Mudd" in the lead, and the similarly worded text in the body of the article, "Since her official retirement she has remained active on several faculty projects at Harvey Mudd College, in addition to working as a lecturer, consultant, and curator of the Aeronautical Library Special Collections at the university's Sprague Library". This is based on this reference, which dates from 2006. Is there anything to show what she's been doing since 2006?
  • Other comments or suggestions - are there any aviation-related categories / USC categories into which she can be put?

Overall, very nearly there, so on hold for the traditional period to allow this one point to be addressed. BencherliteTalk 10:05, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I found this, which I thought was encouraging, but her event was in 2008, not 2011 as I originally believed. I've changed the wording of the introduction somewhat to hopefully address this. I also added a handful of categories, trying to avoid any redundancies. Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done! Canadian Paul 05:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No that's fine now. GA pass - nice work. BencherliteTalk 18:34, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am terrifically pleased to find this article

Very glad to read this about Mrs. C. Kudos to whomever wrote this up. She was enormously influential on my life, and I learned so much about everything from her while I was in the Bates program. 24.143.68.7 (talk) 09:35, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
