Hi Hawkeye, should be able to review this week. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:49, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Toolbox check -- no dablink or EL issues.

Structure

• I would've thought for GA (or indeed B-Class) the lead should be somewhat fuller. Still only needs to be a para but good rule of thumb is to summarise something from each of the article sections.

• On that note, you could combine Early Life and Education into one two-para section, but up to you -- won't affect me passing as GA.

Prose/content

• Infobox says she was born in NYC and died in DC, text says she was born in Wisconsin and died in Tennessee.

  Y The article is correct. Corrected the infobox. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

• "In 1960, she established the professional certification agency known as the American Board of Health Physics" -- can you confirm it was 1960 and not 1950; it's just that we seem to jump from 1949 to 1960 just like that and want to make sure it's not a typo.

   Done It was in 1960. Moved the sentence. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

• "She spent her career helping to establish the new training program in health physics, taught and advised graduate fellows in health physics from 1949" -- the second clause reads oddly to me, suggest "teaching and advising graduate fellows in health physics from 1949" might be what's meant.

• Not that I personally consider it vital but we generally note such things: did she ever marry or have children?

  Y No. Added. It's all about the Finkbeiner test. One of the mad scientists, James B. Conant, wrote an 800-page autobiography without once mentioning his wife. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Referencing -- don't see any issues here.

Images -- licensing is fine (PD – US Gov).

Tks for changes, I clarified something in the lead so pls check but other than that looks fine -- passing as GA. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:20, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
