Hi, I will take this :) Posting my comments soon. Sainsf  (talk · contribs) 08:09, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Beautifully well-written and comprehensive. A most pleasant read :) Here are my comments:


 * No dablinks, broken external links or copyvio concerns.
 * Duplinks - only one, University of Cape Town (University faculty (1923–1937))
 * fixed. SusunW (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Citations formatted really well, including Selected works, though the author name formats, case used in titles and dates should be made more consistent. But an excellent job overall.
 * See notes below. She didn't standardize her name, so if one is looking it is hard to find them. I could use a standard, but then which one? (that to me seemed like a diversion from following what the sources said). SusunW (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Prose is engaging and definitely meets GA standards. A few queries and suggestions:
 * Comments on prose
 * Lead does a great job at summarizing the whole article. But I found the reason behind her death missing in the article and especially the lead, is no information available on this?
 * No idea. The sources I have access to gave no cause. SusunW (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * 'A' for anthropologist in infobox
 * ✅ SusunW (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Hoernlé joined twenty-one other white liberals This should ideally be '21' per the MOS (There might be other cases)
 * ✅ SusunW (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * In Selected Works why is there a 'Mrs.' in places?
 * Because that is how she published them. It is often a problem in women's works to discover their publications because they often used various names (as is clearly seen in her publications list). SusunW (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I am curious why "!Nau" is in italics
 * Because it is a foreign word. As I am unsure of what language it is, was unable to translate it. SusunW (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Hoernlé, Mrs. R.F.A. Whose initials are those?
 * Her husband's, see comment above. Very, very often, women's stories are hidden behind a husband's name. SusunW (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


 * academics and social welfare.[Notes 1] Should be 'Note'

Thank you very much for the review. I truly appreciate it. I am not sure what to do about her name in the works section, so if you want me to do something, let me know. I tend to follow the sources, as that seems the most logical thing to do with women's name changes. But, obviously, other people find the inconsistency of names to be distracting.

 * Thanks for the clarification, . I had never come across this issue. I would prefer her correct initials, thought her name was the same throughout and you were missing initials at places. I am not too much into consistency when it comes to citations unless we are preparing for an FAC, so the article as it stands now is perfect for GA promotion. Thank you for your work on this wonderful article, keep it up! Sainsf  (talk · contribs) 18:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
