Review comments edit

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

  • Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
  • Photograph should be added from a source with a free license
  • Basic biographical information required, including date and place of birth
  • Some material needs rewriting in a more formal encyclopedic tone
  • Article needs expanding and should emphasise reasons for notability of subject; it is currently unclear that she meets WP:BIO.
  • After expansion, article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
  • Information on research should be expanded
  • References should be expanded, preferably using a wider range of sources; they should preferably converted to inline format
  • External links present which could be used to expand article

A rare person edit

Are our comments here officially limited to discussions of the article itself? After finding this at random and suggesting some simplifications/clarifications (my specialty), I was struck by what a rare, brilliant, caring, inquisitive, passionate person Alexander seemed to be. I haven't read many bios like this that leap off the page so powerfully. She was obviously someone who lived life completely, was fascinated with all of creation—not just small bits of it, like most of us—and did everything she could to inspire these qualities in others. What a tragedy that she was taken from everyone so prematurely.
I've contributed to WP for many years, and I think this is the first time I've posted anything like this. If it's inappropriate, sorry, go ahead and remove it. If it's okay, feel free to add any thoughts you may have—especially if you had the good fortune of having Alexander influence your life somehow. I wish I'd had that chance, while it was still possible. Cheers, AndyFielding (talk) 11:05, 5 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
