 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. Hooks: I prefer the original, but would drop "1922", not to loose readers not interested in history. Article: "Her parents were Ansel Bamberger and his wife Hannah (née Eilau). She was Jewish." Who? the mother or the daughter? - Please move her death away from "Honors". - If you want a month in a harv ref, you need to specify sfnref, otherwise only the year is taken. Three more problems shown, refs 7, 18 and 19. If you want to be sure of a match, don't say ref = harv, but ref = sfnref + what you want to call it in the body, in curly brackets. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:04, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * thanks for the review. I tried to input the changes you suggested. Is it better now? Yoninah (talk) 19:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Offline sources accepted AGF. - Schwartz points to no citation, but that is no reason not to approve. I fixed Busnell the easy way, - if you want "May" you need to define the ref. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I added the ref for Schwartz. Thanks again, Yoninah (talk) 20:14, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
