ALT1 ... that Walter D'Arcy Ryan developed both the Scintillator moving floodlights show and, with the General Electric Illuminating Engineering Laboratory, the White Way system of streetlighting? Yngvadottir (talk) 20:22, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

I have now reviewed Sybil Plumlee. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:17, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Article is length and timely. It is supported by inline citations. (Not a huge fan of the style, but that's neither here nor there.) Both hooks are properly formatted and the right length. Image on article has proper copyright tag. Both hooks are interesting enough. I prefer the first one. Information in hook has sources and appears in the article. Article reads as neutral enough.
that no copyright concerns exist from book sources and that these sources support the hook. --LauraHale (talk) 12:16, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Good to go. --LauraHale (talk) 12:16, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
