Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and it's great to have a new contributor to Women in Red; I'm one, myself. That said, can you expand on Mary Thompson Irvine's biography a bit? She was a structural engineer, but what type of projects did she work on? Buildings, bridges, reservoirs, boats...? Did she have her own firm, or work for others? Any notable projects? I've removed the request for a review, as I think you should try and expand the article a bit, before submitting it. Great choice of topic, but it needs a bit more before it can go live. -- Zanimum (talk) 13:21, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Zanimum. Thanks for your message. As I'm a new contributor I was advised at a wikithon to keep my entry short until I'd satisfied the notability criteria - so interesting to hear that you think otherwise. I have lots and lots of information on Mary. I've been in touch with her family and old colleagues. I have old newspaper articles and photos, plus records from the IStructE regarding her exam results. Of course none of this is on the internet so I can't yet provide the citations. I'd assumed that there would be a delay with her page, so I wanted to get that started and in the meantime the historian Nina Baker (Magnificent Women website) is lined up to publish a blog which I can then refer back to. She worked in the UK, Zimbabwe and South Africa; on commercial and industrial buildings with a specialism in structural steelwork. Companies included London County Council, Taylor Woodrow, GKN Twisteel and Bradshaw Buckton & Tonge. She was part of the team of engineers on the Castle Peak Power Station in Hong Kong (from the UK) but we can't get access to her work archive until Covid restrictions have been lifted. From discussions with her ex colleague I know that she wrote innovative computer programs in the 1980s but again I don't have citations (yet). If you have removed the request for a review, where do I find the draft? Based on what I have said above, what would be useful to add - that would also meet the referencing criteria? -- Gaggarama (talk) 19:33, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
