Only one or two sentences appear only cited. The sourcing must be fixed. George Ho (talk) 04:57, 17 February 2015 (UTC).

Sorry about that. They were sourced but another editor lost the connections when doing some useful formatting. Now all is sourced again. Thanks (Msrasnw (talk) 10:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC))
Do you think it could be usefully put in the March (Women's History Month) and if so would you know how to do that? Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 11:46, 17 February 2015 (UTC))

Can you cite each sentence? At least there's some improvement, but more improvement is needed. George Ho away from home (talk) 22:19, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks and sorry. I think each sentence now has relevant citations attached. (Msrasnw (talk) 13:35, 18 February 2015 (UTC))

I am trying to fix the writing as much as I can. Can you double-check your spelling (although it may be optional)? George Ho (talk) 06:43, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

I have corrected a couple of errors and can't see anymore - thanks (Msrasnw (talk) 07:53, 19 February 2015 (UTC))

Not to mention a few fragmented sentences. George Ho (talk) 09:07, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear George, jolly sorry. I think I might be getting old. Done a few more correction and hope all is ok now. Is it?

I hope someone else here can accept at least one or two fragmented sentences as exceptions. Otherwise, I guess I should have pressured more. George Ho (talk) 00:34, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

So sorry to have caused the problem. I am not clear what is wanted and where the problems lie. But don't worry. Best wishes anyway. (Msrasnw (talk) 10:10, 23 February 2015 (UTC))

Lots of refs including a ref for the hook to a reliable source. Only one image (which I added). Interesting lady. Neutral and no paraphrasing spotted. I tried to make the hook more focussed by removing her birth name and birth and death year as these are unlikely to catch any extra attention to the hook.
