... that Irish algologist Anne Elizabeth Ball has two species of seaweed named for her?

Length and date fine. Hook cited and correctly formatted. No copy vios. The primary source is reference #2, which is off-line, AGF. Small copy edits. One small thing, three of the online references, 1-3-5, indicate that she was born in Youghal. Is there reliable information to the contrary? Thank you for submitting this DYK nomination.

Any follow up? Anne (talk) 04:10, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I was unable to find a source that supports Cobh as a birth place and didn't hear back from the article's creator. I've left it non-specific in the mean time. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 03:55, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Wow, I'm really pleased to see this is being added to the DYK section. I've cited the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry on her brother, Robert Ball, as being the source for her place of birth.

This is good go. Article length, date and sources check out. The hook is interesting and has an inline citation. Good to go! Yazan (talk) 17:16, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
