 * New enough, long enough, neutral, sourced, interesting, passes duplication detector checks (matches to titles of books, awards, universities and positions held are detected, which is acceptable). All hooks are within acceptable length. Facts for ALT and ALT1 are stated and cited in the article. They might read more smoothly if they say "that British anthropologist Karin Barber ..."

 * Symbol question.svg Regarding ALT2, four books are mentioned and cited as having received awards, but none of them are explicitly identified in the article as monographs, so I would recommend rephrasing either ALT2 or the article if ALT2 is considered. My hook preference is for ALT1, which I think is the catchiest.  Otherwise, the only outstanding requirement  is that the QPQ is not yet completed. Thanks for writing this article about a very interesting person and her work. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 16:27, 7 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your review! I have reworded ALT2 as ALT3 and have added ALT4 to reflect your recommendations. I have also added some more details to the article and a new paragraph in the intro. I am currently looking at QPQ. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 17:53, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Great! I'm striking the hook versions that have been modified, and taking the liberty of naming ALT4 as ALT1a to clarify its line of descent.  Confirming that both ALT3 and ALT1a are properly cited and supported.  Let me know when the QPQ is done. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 18:40, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That makes more sense, thanks. QPQ is now in progress. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 19:06, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
 * and now its done, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 01:07, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT 1a is best; ALT 3 is boring. Neutralitytalk 20:08, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go with ALT 1a. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 17:46, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
