5x expanded by HazelAB (talk). Self-nominated at 22:12, 13 August 2015 (UTC).
Long enough, new enough (expanded by at least 5x on August 13). Hook is short enough, NPOV, formatted correctly. Cited in line with two refs. One I AGF on as I can't read the book but the other online one also verifies it as well as ref 2. Article uses effective use of inline citation. Spotchecks identify no obvious close paraphrasing, copyvios, plagiarism issues. However I do not have access to ref 1 or 5 so am AGFing on those. Good QPQ present.
The only think that would make the hook more interesting is that we include that she was the first female president of British Psychological Society. It shows not only that she obtained a doctorate in psychology but she became the head of the representative body for psychologists. Sourced by ref 2, pg26 as well as the web source. Also you could move that external link to the main text after her death to show an award is dedicated to her at one of the universities she studied at. Cowlibob (talk) 17:25, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Cowlibob: Thanks for the review. I've added an ALT hook with the fact that she also was first woman president of the BPS. I'd only mentioned the PhD in the original hook because 1) I prefer short hooks and 2) she was first at so many things it's hard to stop at two, but if you prefer ALT 1 that's fine with me. I've also added a short Legacy section and put the information about the Beatrice Edgell award there. HazelAB (talk) 19:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
