  • ... that Jill S. Tietjen tries to supply more role models for women in engineering and technology by regularly nominating candidates for awards and halls of fame? Source: "For decades, Jill S. Tietjen used an innovative strategy to encourage women in engineering and technology. ... She nominates women for awards to promote them and their groundbreaking work. She does it to "ensure that there are women STEM role models everywhere, by making sure that women are nominated for awards that men just usually get." To date, she has successfully nominated 25 women to the National Women's Hall of Fame to fill the gap of technical women represented there." (Womens eNews)

  • I'll be doing a full review of this later, but so far so good: the article looks long enough and adequately sourced. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
  • It's new enough, long enough, and adequately sourced. The hook is very interesting, would likely attract reader attention, and is mentioned and cited inline. QPQ provided. However, I have some issues with the article that need clarification or to be resolved. First, I noticed that Forbes.com is used as source in the article. From what I can recall, the use of Forbes.com as a source in articles is generally discouraged due to essentially being a self-publication platform. Is its use in the article acceptable in the first place? Second, Earwigs gives a score of 36.7% with this website; although that's a low score, it seems to closely match the "Women's advocate" section. Perhaps the link (which is already used in the article as a source in the Awards section) could be added to the Women's advocate section too? This is a very intriguing article and I'll be happy to approve this once the issues are addressed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the speedy review! I'll try to address your concerns later. Yoninah (talk) 10:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
  • OK, I removed the close paraphrasing and deleted the Forbes citations. I added another RS. The 36.3% score on Earwigs seems to be WP:LIMITED, and some matches are in different sentences. Note: I used LinkedIn for dates that could not be found in other sources. Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
  • This should be good to go now as the issues have been addressed; the LinkedIn source is accepted as a primary source in this case. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:40, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
