 * Symbol question.svg Only one or two sentences appear only cited. The sourcing must be fixed. George Ho (talk) 04:57, 17 February 2015 (UTC).


 * Sorry about that. They were sourced but another editor lost the connections when doing some useful formatting. Now all is sourced again. Thanks (Msrasnw (talk) 10:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC))
 * Do you think it could be usefully put in the March (Women's History Month) and if so would you know how to do that? Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 11:46, 17 February 2015 (UTC))
 * Can you cite each sentence? At least there's some improvement, but more improvement is needed. George Ho away from home (talk) 22:19, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks and sorry. I think each sentence now has relevant citations attached. (Msrasnw (talk) 13:35, 18 February 2015 (UTC))
 * I am trying to fix the writing as much as I can. Can you double-check your spelling (although it may be optional)? George Ho (talk) 06:43, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I have corrected a couple of errors and can't see anymore - thanks (Msrasnw (talk) 07:53, 19 February 2015 (UTC))
 * Not to mention a few fragmented sentences. George Ho (talk) 09:07, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Dear George, jolly sorry. I think I might be getting old. Done a few more correction and hope all is ok now. Is it?
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg I hope someone else here can accept at least one or two fragmented sentences as exceptions. Otherwise, I guess I should have pressured more. George Ho (talk) 00:34, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
 * So sorry to have caused the problem. I am not clear what is wanted and where the problems lie. But don't worry. Best wishes anyway. (Msrasnw (talk) 10:10, 23 February 2015 (UTC))
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Lots of refs including a ref for the hook to a reliable source. Only one image (which I added). Interesting lady. Neutral and no paraphrasing spotted. I tried to make the hook more focussed by removing her birth name and birth and death year as these are unlikely to catch any extra attention to the hook.
