Article issues
[edit]I've tagged this article as problematic in tone, sourcing, and notability. The entire page reads more like a CV than an encyclopedia article, with long lists of accomplishments of dubious importance with no associated commentary. The article is entirely unreferenced; there are no sources, primary or otherwise, provided to substantiate the claims made here. It is therefore also unclear whether the subject is truly notable. Please do not remove the maintenance templates until these issues are resolved. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:31, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed. Revamped. Hopefully less CV-ish. Kept long quotes inside references for checking, but I'll trim the quotes-inside-references in a week. Think subject is notable.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:35, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
- Update. Lede paragraph => probably needs tweaking; not sure if section on "Views" skews things, maybe Views section should be condensed but references kept. Text gets listy at points doesn't it.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 09:35, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
- Update. Section "view" can be problematic as per WP:PRIMARY, shortened, less => more, hopefully tighter better honed article.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 01:09, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Citation overkill in lead
[edit]There are currently 14 (!) citations being used in just the brief introduction. And the overall article still comes off as a promotion of her CV than as an understanding of the person. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 04:37, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
