I have added a mathematician, Lucy R. Wyatt, to the categories "women mathematician" and "21st century mathematician" and in each category she has been added under L for Lucy instead of W for Wyatt.

Fixed Wikipedia was sorting by first name not surname. So that it sorts properly, at the end of a BLP you need to add a box like the one below:
{{Persondata | NAME = Wyatt, Lucy R. | ALTERNATIVE NAMES = | SHORT DESCRIPTION = English mathematician | DATE OF BIRTH = | PLACE OF BIRTH = | DATE OF DEATH = | PLACE OF DEATH = }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Wyatt, Lucy R.}} Joseph2302 (talk) 16:49, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
