Hello! I am happy to review this article for GA status. I typically go through and leave comments and suggestions, and then once any issues that need to be addressed have been addressed, I go through and review off a checklist to make sure everything has been covered by the official criteria.

Initial comments edit

  • There is a bit of inconsistency between British and American spelling for 'pediatric' - outside of quotes, per Wikipedia's policy on consistency, it should be the same throughout.
  • "Neill first retired in 1989 after working at Hopkins for the better part of six decades, but she returned to during a period of great clinical demand" - I think there is something missing after 'to' in this sentence.
  • Could the very short "Personal life" section be folded into another section, or expanded? It could fit nicely into an adjusted death and legacy section (see below)
  • Similar - the death and legacy section has a chunk of material that is probably best suited for the end of the career section (retirement and return to work).
  • The formatting of her selected publications should be consistent. All journal articles should have DOI and PMID. I would suggest arranging them chronologically as well.
  • The image looks good, with an appropriate license.
  • For the Lancet obituary - could an access date be added?
  • No paraphrasing issues or copyvios - all quotes are appropriately attributed.
  • The date formats change throughout the articles: September 3, 1921 vs 23 February 2006.

Those are what I found on an initial read through, I don't think anything too onerous. If there are any questions or clarifications needed, please don't hesitate to ask. Canada Hky (talk) 16:50, 22 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Canada Hky: Thanks for your helpful comments! I have addressed everything, with the exception of not being able to find a DOI for two of the older journal articles. ceranthor 15:12, 23 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
