Hi Danielle, to be honest I used your page to model my page on Jody! Additionally, you use "He is also" twice while talking about Tom's work history, which could be changed. Klar2d2 (talk) 17:46, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I really like this page so far, Danielle. It's very professional, and you've mastered the wikipedia format (just the right amount of links, no more, no less). If I had any comments, it would be to add some of Dr. Quinn's papers to your references. Maybe what his thesis was, or some of his latest published work. But that would be the icing on the cake.

Danielle, looks good. I would just put in the refs for escience and the software in the lead paragraph that you are using in the subsections below Pzaula (talk) 17:55, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I like the box on the right with an overall summary, it makes it easy to get desired information quickly. The layout is easy to follow and concise. I have little feedback because the article works very well as is. Maybe include a picture of him. Great work! Nksaunders (talk) 18:10, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Danielle, your page looks good! I definitely took notes on some things I want to incorporate into my wiki article. Some minor suggestions would be to include what Tom's thesis was at Princeton (this will also give you a chance to add in another citation from ADS). Under the work section you have two sentences that start with "He is also" maybe start one differently. Overall, you are pretty much set, good work! Tovarg (talk) 18:14, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

During his Early Life and Education I'd write out the full University of Washington rather than just UW. Seems more professional. Everything else looks great though. Cwlind1997 (talk) 18:16, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
