List of female Fellows of the Royal Society edit
- ... that Hertha Ayrton's candidature for fellowship in the Royal Society was turned down in 1902 on the basis that as a married woman she had no standing in law?
- Reviewed: New nominator exemption (3rd nom.), though did review United Nationalist Alliance between 2nd nom. and now.

- ALT1: ... that Hertha Ayrton's 1902 candidature to be the first woman elected Fellow of the Royal Society was turned down on the basis that as a married woman she had no standing in law?
- Should this be phrased "candidature for Fellowship in the Royal Society"? Gobōnobō + c 11:07, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- Well, it's Fellows of the Royal Society, so I wrote "Fellowship of". However, if someone with better grammar than me think it should be "in", I have no problem with that. KTC (talk) 11:13, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- I believe this could be worded either way, referring to her candidature for fellowship in the Royal Society or referring to her candidature to be elected Fellow of the Royal Society. I've reworked the hook slightly and provided an alt. This nomination is date, length, and policy compliant. The images look okay, though File:Barbara McClintock at C.S.H. 1947.jpg has been nominated for deletion. Gobōnobō + c 08:06, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
- Needs another review for the hook.

- It's not actually offline, but rather behind a subscription and only sort of. Try some random 6 digits number beginning with 8 in the "Library card login" field and you might be able to access it if they don't check IP geo location. KTC (talk) 22:20, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
