Alison Light

Nice job writing Alison Light! It's looking very professional and well-written. Are you aware of any third-party sources about her, by the way? Actually, in Wikipedia we usually require independent sources about our subjects as a condition for inclusion. If you are aware of any such sources, then now would be a good time to include them, as the article may be in danger of being merged, redirected or deleted if they don't exist. For academics, there are a few other ways that subjects can qualify for inclusion as well - take a look at the notability guidelines for academics for more details, and don't be afraid to ask me any questions that you might have.
