 * 1) Read the section Education. There is a minor error in the construction on one of the sentences. Correct it. --MassiveEartha (talk) 20:09, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Link thesis (in the section Education.
 * 3) Create a section Background after the third sentence of the article.
 * 4) Shorten the lead according to these guidelines. To do so, move information to the new section Background.
 * 5) According to these guidelines, the sentence His daughter continued her father’s legacy by majoring in chemistry. is more appropriate in the article than in the lead; you might have moved it to Background. Check if this information is reapeated in the article; if so, delete it in the section Early years.
 * 6) Add information about the scientist's mother, using e. g. https://www.biography.com/people/marie-m-daly-604034. Indicate the source.--Reisen8 (talk) 06:13, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

 * For advanced editors:


 * 1) The name Clark is used in the article without explaining details. Check sources such as https://www.biography.com/people/marie-m-daly-604034 and add information in a suitable section.
 * 2) Create a section Honors and legacy after Research and move corresponding information from Career there.
 * 3) Find a source that is appropriate for an encyclopedia (which is not only read by experts) and explains the key aspects of the scientist's research in easy language. Add some information at the beginning of the section Research in the article, indicate the source. If possible, add a key sentence to the introduction which will be followed by the already existing Daly made important contributions..... Keep in mind that readers are non-experts.

Have a good time improving this article. Iva • =>?! • 09:20, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Copied into an Xlibris book without attribution
It appears that much of the text of this article (which has been on WP since 2006) was copied into an ebook published by Xlibris in 2011. The book is: The Untold Stories of Excellence by Charles E. Shaw, starting on page 77. It seems to have been minimally modified, maybe in attempt to obscure its source, but the vast majority of the text is identical. 63.251.123.2 (talk) 23:10, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
