Wang Yening

 * ... that Wang Yening (pictured) pioneered "Wang's theory" for the relaxation of alloy defects? Source: "her coupling relaxation theory applying to the collective relaxation process of defects in alloys has been named as Wang's theory."
 * ALT1:... that Wang Yening (pictured) helped establish China's first specialization in X-ray metal physics? Source: "she returned to Nanjing University and assisted Prof. Shi Shiyuan and Chen Kaijia in establishing the first domestic X-ray Metal Physics Specialization"

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new and long enough, no obvious copyvios, hook is interesting and correctly sourced (have to AGF on non-English source). Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  13:39, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, and first rewrote the sentence on which ALT0 is based because shortening it made it less accurate. I also added links. I'm not crazy about expanding ALT0 based on the new wording because it's already too jargony. ALT1 is all right but the fact is that two other men worked on it with her. What do you think about a more straightforward and user-friendly fact like:
 * ALT2: ... that Chinese physicist Wang Yening (pictured) was one of the world's top 150 authors in high-temperature superconductivity in the 1990s? Yoninah (talk) 21:24, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with ALT2, but being one of the top 150 may not sound too impressive to lay readers (who may not be aware that high-Tc superconductivity was one of the hottest research topics in the 1980s and 90s). And I don't see the problem with ALT1: yes she worked with two other scientists, which is why the hook says she "helped establish" the program, not simply "established". -Zanhe (talk) 00:01, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg	OK. Restoring tick for ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 18:50, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
