Significantfigure's Peer Review[edit]

This is an overall good lead section. It gets right to the point about who Charlotte was and what her contributions were to the field of medicine. I would suggest just being consistent with the way you abbreviate "B.A.","PhD", and "MD". They are all abbreviated right, but I would either use period in all of them or none of them. All of your citations look good as well. I clicked on all of them and they brought me to the appropriate place. They all are good scholarly, unbiased sources. Your content is also very neutral and you are not bringing any bias in. I know there is probably not much about how she died, but it may be interesting to note-- not the most important thing though. Going forward it would be nice to structure the article by splitting the information up into sections when you find more information about her. One section may just focus on her early life/family and another section may focus on her work. Overall, it sounds very encyclopedic.

Honestbean's Peer Review[edit]

The lead section is very strong. The sources seem to be scholarly and relevant. One thing that seemed a little out of place to me in the introduction paragraph was that when mentioning that she was the granddaughter of Sir Thaddeus Fairbanks, go on to elaborate that he "was honored for his development of a more accurate weighing scale." This may belong on a different Wikipedia page, unless his development of a more accurate scale also had a profound impact on her life, or she worked closely with him. It might also have a better place in a latter subsection.
