Created by Lucas138 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:13, 22 September 2022 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - Second version is better than first. Depends on knowing Sewall Wright is interesting person?
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.

QPQ: No - How to find this?
Overall: Second version is better than first. Depends on knowing Sewall Wright is interesting person? Some typos, corrected. Good coverage of career and life of interesting person. Would be more normal to give full citation on page of her publications rather than just the title and date. First time I've done one of these reviews.

ALT2a: ... that as a child, Dr. Wilhelmine Key kept pet wasps?
which I think would make a great quirky hook? -- RoySmith (talk) 21:12, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I don't love that it reduces her to her childhood and doesn't make the connection to her adult work. But if the nom likes it, their opinion should take precedence over mine. ♠PMC(talk) 00:27, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I was worried about that too. I withdraw the suggestion. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ALT2 isn't quite right, it seems; the Argus-Leader says she studied wasps as a child, and the Daily Arkansas Gazette says she keeps wasps as pests pets present-tense when she was nearly 30. Any sources that make the connection? theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/her) 07:43, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can't read either of those. I've got a newspapers.com subscription, but it's still not letting me see them. Could you generate clippings and replace the URLs in the citations with the clipping versions? I think that's what's needed to let other people see them. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:27, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Leeky, I didn't see this because I didn't get a ping and it was off my watchlist because it was approved. Can we reverse it? ♠PMC(talk) 23:29, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3: ... that Dr. Wilhelmine Key (pictured) studied wasps as a child, and as an adult kept them as pets?
PMC, theleekycauldron, the article doesn't say anything about her keeping wasps as pets as an adult; rather, it says: In her childhood she kept wasps as pets and studied them. If ALT3 is to be used, and if it was indeed the case that she "keeps wasps" in her late 20s (rather than as a child), then the article needs to be corrected. This nomination is three months old today, and needs to be wrapped up soon. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:42, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Daily Arkansas Gazette that Leeky mentioned explicitly says she keeps them as adults, yes. Looks like the original creator is a student so is unlikely to return and actually fix things, as he has essentially not been back since November. I have revised the article now. ♠PMC(talk) 18:08, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
