• New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT0 is more hooky IMO; hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:32, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Still waiting on a QPQ. Yoninah (talk) 20:36, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Yoninah I have now done a QPQ. Anything else needed here? DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 03:08, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

• Nope. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:05, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

• Hello, I came by to promote this, but I have some questions about the article. First: is her date of birth or at least year of birth unknown? Secondly, the "Bibliography" section completely lacks references. Perhaps each work could be individually cited, or a general citation listing all her works could be added here? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Narutolovehinata5. She does not list a year of birth in the biography section of her own web site, nor in her online resume. None of the cited sources list one, nor did any source I found, and I looked for one. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 12:59, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Bibliographies are generally self-citing,and do not need footnotes, as a published work is a valid source about itself, if proper bibliographic info has been listed. However I see the info about several of the works is incomplete. I will attempt to fill it out and/or provide additional souring, and ping you when I have done so.

• @DESiegel: It has been almost a month since your last updates to the article, have there been any updates since then? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:14, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
• The nominator has not edited since June 30. Calling on article co-contributor Ymblanter to comment if they wish to continue the nomination. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:13, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

  Thanks for pinging me. I am now travelling and have bad internet connection, I will see next week what I can do and respond here.—-Ymblanter (talk) 07:53, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

• @Narutolovehinata5 and Yoninah: In response to the concerns above, I've gone through and added citations for the bibliography entries as requested and converted the in-text urls in the bibliography to inline citations. I also checked for the author's birthdate; the only comment I could find was one that indicated she was born "in the 1970s". Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 20:33, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

• @Mary Mark Ockerbloom: If you can find that source, maybe we can add it? Like we could add a year of birth range in the article (something like "born c. 1970s" or wording to that effect).Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 23:53, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
• I double checked and found I was in error -- the dating actually applied to another author discussed in the same article. So no, I haven't found any usable dates. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 08:19, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

• I have seen that Mary Mark Ockerbloom has done everything better than I could have ever done it, and I do not think my intervention could improve anything at this stage.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:20, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

• Ready for a review. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 12:57, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

• Restoring my tick for ALT0. However, this cannot run immediately; the nominations are being accepted until July 31 and the awards ceremony is on August 17. We should run it after that date. Yoninah (talk) 18:58, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
