Comment: I am going to accept this as clearly passing WP:ANYBIO but please amend the career section. The description of the LISFLOOD-FP model, the statements that Bates is noted for it, that it is widely used and that it is validated, are all cited to sources from the authors of the model. Please add secondary sources to support these statements. Mgp28 (talk) 12:43, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
