 * &#x2713; January has more than 5 DYK credits. A QPQ review of Template:Did you know nominations/Bristol and Bath Science Park was performed for this nomination.
 * Symbol question.svg Good article. Long enough, new enough, within policy, NPOV, no obvious close paraphrasing, copyvio or plagiarism. Hook is short enough and formatted correctly, interesting, NPOV. Adequate QPQ. Now a few minor fixes, the subject is referred to as both Richardson and Richardson-Walsh could we stick to one surname? In the lead, there should be a "the" before Great Britain women's. Holland is not a country, should be Netherlands. Could I suggest that this DYK be held till October 2016 when the Olympic parade in the UK will be held? Cowlibob (talk) 19:24, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Re the surname, I used Richardson when discussing events before her marriage and Richardson-Walsh afterwards, which I thought was the norm for women who change their surname mid-career (eg Jessica Ennis-Hill, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce). I've made the other changes as suggested, and I'm happy for this to be held until the Olympic parade. January  ( talk ) 09:22, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with the re the surname- the surname used should be their surname at the time of the event, as in all the female athletes mentioned above by . Joseph2302 20:04, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I see the reasoning now. Good to go. Could the promoter please hold off till October 2016 when the Olympic Parade occurs in the UK as agreed above? I would move it into a separate section but no official date apart from October as of yet has been announced. Cowlibob (talk) 21:35, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
