Opening review. I’ve read it a few times today and shouldn’t have many comments. Kingsif (talk) 16:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

I’ll also say a great thanks to the editors who have done some spring cleaning since this has been on the main page, the smaller tweaks usually brought up at GAR (apostrophes, eg) have been resolved already. Kingsif (talk) 17:15, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

I want to second that! I somewhat WP:BOLDLY nominated this without having made any substantial contributions to this article previously. Other editors have done a great job here! TJMSmith (talk) 22:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

• Lead is satisfactory. Perhaps the last couple lines (In 2015...) could be split to another paragraph, but not needed.

• The two sentences at the end of the first paragraph of Career need inline citations (presumably [15] covers both)

• The term computer, wikilinked to the job meaning, doesn’t need quotation marks

 Done TJMSmith (talk) 22:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

• Alpha Kappa Alpha needs a ref

 Done TJMSmith (talk) 22:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

• Johnson, who had six grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, lived in Hampton, Virginia is cited to the Daily Mail, a deprecated source, so needs a better source (it seems to be a review, but the noted lack of accuracy needed in the paper doesn’t fly for this fact)

• Johnson has been portrayed in the media seems superfluous, it reads as well if not better without it.

 Done TJMSmith (talk) 22:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

• There is a good weight of content between the sections
• Award refs seem good
• No issues with the see also list

Thanks for reviewing this article. I am glad this impressive individual has an in depth Wikipedia article. TJMSmith (talk) 22:03, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

Amazing! This passes, with no prejudice against continuing to work on it further! Kingsif (talk) 22:33, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

I don't agree with this review. Addressed at Talk:Katherine Johnson#Elevation of this article to GA status. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 23:56, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
