 * Symbol question.svg I like your article very much, fascinating person and topic, good structure, many good sources. I wonder if you want to add to the hook "the son of Nigerian immigrants"? Please go over the prose once more for some details, "other honors" after a sentence that doesn't mention honors, date the "recently" in the lead, avoid the repetition of "encourage", I don't get "His senior thesis was a Morgan W. McKinzie Senior Thesis Prize Finalist with Distinction, and received a grade of A+ with Distinction." (would like to know what it was about, rather than prizes). Do you think you could improve the vortex article? (Not necessary, of course, would just be nice to have an article on the Main page without a tag.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:28, 5 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello! Thanks :) it's slightly fixed? I don't know much about vortices, so if you want I can work on that article over the weekend. I also don't know how to incorporate his ethnicity without it sounding odd. mathwhiz  29  01:23, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The original hook is fine, I don't think the other is odd and would let the one decide who takes it to prep. If you don't agree, strike it ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:45, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
