Death
editThe sentence under Death, "In 1956, Anderson developed leukemia and died in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, of breast cancer and leukemia, possibly as the result of her work with radioactivity..", makes it sound like she caught cancer and died in 1956. It needs to be rewritten. The sentence also has two periods. Djmaschek (talk) 03:12, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Hawkeye, should be able to review this week. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:49, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Toolbox check -- no dablink or EL issues.
Structure
- I would've thought for GA (or indeed B-Class) the lead should be somewhat fuller. Still only needs to be a para but good rule of thumb is to summarise something from each of the article sections.
- On that note, you could combine Early Life and Education into one two-para section, but up to you -- won't affect me passing as GA.
Prose/content
- Infobox says she was born in NYC and died in DC, text says she was born in Wisconsin and died in Tennessee.
The article is correct. Corrected the infobox. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- "In 1960, she established the professional certification agency known as the American Board of Health Physics" -- can you confirm it was 1960 and not 1950; it's just that we seem to jump from 1949 to 1960 just like that and want to make sure it's not a typo.
Done It was in 1960. Moved the sentence. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- "She spent her career helping to establish the new training program in health physics, taught and advised graduate fellows in health physics from 1949" -- the second clause reads oddly to me, suggest "teaching and advising graduate fellows in health physics from 1949" might be what's meant.
- Not that I personally consider it vital but we generally note such things: did she ever marry or have children?
- No. Added. It's all about the Finkbeiner test. One of the mad scientists, James B. Conant, wrote an 800-page autobiography without once mentioning his wife. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
Referencing -- don't see any issues here.
Images -- licensing is fine (PD – US Gov).

- Tks for changes, I clarified something in the lead so pls check but other than that looks fine -- passing as GA. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:20, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
