[edit]

Please address the following:

Fix the reference list. You may need to re-enter your citation information to ensure that you have included everythign (such as a title for the webpage)
Fix the strange spacing (extra spaces that are not needed)
Add a Scientist Infobox
The accomplishments section could be improved. Include and introductory sentence explaining that she is a leader in epidemiology and vaccine development in Africa and internationally, then the list shows what leadership positions she holds. Don't use abbreviations in this section. You need to type everything out with the proper capitalization, etc. This is an encyclopedia!
You need to dramatically improve the contributions section. Please read the introductory sections of a few of her papers for help with terminology and context. You have the basic idea, but there are a lot of grammar errors and awkward wording in this section.
Her involvement in so many things is a bit difficult to describe succintly. I would state the she is the head of the HIV VACCINE DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS RESEARCH GROUP (no caps). I can help with this a little next week.S L Seston (talk) 19:16, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rather a mess. There is a weird circular redirect set. The eventual article needs to be Anna-Lise Williamson, but there is a version Female virologist Anna-Lise Williamson that needs help to get into the right place. Fiddle Faddle 19:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems there is also Anna- Lise Williamson And I can't unravel it because redirects will need deletion. Fiddle Faddle 19:55, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A bot has fixed the worst of the mess. I have now moved Anna- Lise Williamson to Anna-Lise Williamson and changed the target of the redirect page Female virologist Anna-Lise Williamson. Please re-activate the admin help template if there's something I missed that needs admin toolset. Thanks, -- Diannaa (talk) 23:58, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Independent references[edit]

References have added to this biography of a living person that are papers the subject of this article has co-written, I don't think that these are sufficiently independent of the subject to be classed as reliable sources. These papers should rather be listed in the Publications section, and independent sources who have written about the person should be found, and no the UCT website is not really good enough.

Comments[edit]

Clearly notable, as shown by the citation record 181, 141, 98 .... in Google scholar. Notability under WP:PROF is proven by evidence that the person is an authority in their field, and in science, that is done by examining the citations to their work. But the article needs some major revisions. Judging by the citations, her main academic notability is not development of HIV vaccines, but development of vaccines for the human papilloma viruses that cause HPV.
