Feedback from New Page Review process

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: please try and find some independent sources for her career. Also a link to her citations would be useful.

Thank you @Ldm1954. I am grateful for your feedback as it helps me get better. When I looked it up, it said I did not have to add citations to her publications in Selected Publications, so I left them off, but for her other works, I added citations within the body. Finding independent sources can be difficult because female scientists (even if highly cited like her) do not get a lot of media attention. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to address this in terms of the types of secondary sources I can use that may not be completely obvious. Thank you again Logger67 (talk) 23:02, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hi @Ldm1954 one more thing.. I am confused as to why this is posted on the page - "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

As I don’t see anything contentious in her article or on the talk page? Please advise. Warmly, Logger67 (talk) 23:06, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Logger67, the material at the top is boiler plate added to all bios, whether they are scientists, criminals, politicians or movie stars. For instance, see Talk:Helen Mirren -- ignore that text.

I am not sure how to respond about sources. I cannot find any info about her myself, not even whether she has any degrees or a CV! Maybe you just have to leave it. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:25, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
