OK, this looks pretty solid, but some quibbles I'll have another read through later,  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  08:16, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It's usual to start bios with something like "Joe Bloggs is an American lawyer" to give us a bit of context, rather than plough straight into the nitty-gritty
 * Evolution &mdash; link
 * numerous awards &mdash; "numerous" is a peacock word best omitted
 * spell out numbers less than ten
 * "Anglo-Saxon" links to the people rather than the language, is this intentional? Some Saxons wrote in Latin at least.
 * ''...and was permitted to analyse their data.[12] A study of Old English texts..." &mdash; are these the same project? A few more words to explain how he analysed the data might help
 * second world war. &mdash;  usually capped
 * His thesis was also awarded the Hertz Thesis Prize &mdash; perhaps "his doctoral project" or similar to avoid repeat of thesis
 * DoB?
 * Outside of scientific interests &mdash;  "outside his"?
 * Lieberman Aiden participated in a modern art collaboration &mdash; bit vague, "modern art" is a huge field
 * Michel, J. -B.; &mdash;  looks like a stray space in ref 11
 * Capitalisation of reference titles is inconsistent, have them all the same style, even if it's not as in the original
 * Thanks for taking on the review and for these helpful comments, I'll continue trying to address them as time allows  Jebus989 ✰ 14:05, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Ok so I've tried to address these points. I changed numerous -> "a number of", but admittedly that still sounds a little promotional; I'd be open to suggestions on how to further improve this. Regarding the modern art, I found and linked the article on the artists behind the work, will try to dig deeper and see if this is worth expanding or removing—admittedly artistic works are not my forté  Jebus989 ✰ 16:19, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll have another look, but it will be tomorrow, since the Spurs v Basle match starts soon, need to get the beer in (:  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  17:50, 11 April 2013 (UTC)


 * OK< so we lost on a penalty shoot-out. I've made a couple of tweaks to the text, although I still need to read through again. We may have a problem with the image. I can't see where it says on the blog page that either the text or the image are in the public domain. Unless there is an explicit licence to copy and modify for any use, you can't use the image. You could ask for permission, see Requesting copyright permission for instructions. Unless you can show me the image is verifiably public domain, or you can get permission as described above, you can't use it, and you can't pass GA while it's there  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:08, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Unlucky with the penalties! The two images I added were from a CC BY 3.0 blog post (license tag just above comments at the bottom of the page). I actually contacted the subject a while back and he donated several better images and figures but I have yet to slog the emails through OTRS and from what I understand there's a lengthy backlog. Thanks for the tweaks  Jebus989 ✰ 11:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I looked at the top and bottom of the page, but not the middle (:
