Honors

• She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1981 and has received numerous honors...

Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw 03:57, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

'group of women who underwent some of the same physiological screening tests...'

If you follow the link associated with the photo of Ms. Cobb or the link below to the NASA archive it states that she passed ALL her training exercises and was ranked in the top 2% of astronaut candidates of BOTH genders. Doesn't that combined with the fact that Dr. Lovelace conducted the physicals for both groups suggest that she underwent most if not all the same screening tests?

Name

I could have sworn her name was spelled Geraldine, not Geraldyn. I am checking the book Right Stuff Wrong Sex by M. Weitekamp and she uses Geraldine. All other sources I have studied have it spelled that way. Does anyone know otherwise? Acmejia (talk) 20:41, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

The aviation awards (Harmon trophy) article linked to in the section above uses "Geraldine". But other sources ie [1] use "Geraldyn"! - 220.101 talk^\Contribs 07:03, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, The NY Times obit (2019/04/19) has her name spelled "Geraldyn" - full name Geraldyn M.

Link to http://www.jerrie-cobb.org/

It appears they gave up that domain about June 2013. A company named VALUE-DOMAIN now uses it as a Japanese-language site (with content unrelated to Jerrie). The original can be accessed through the Wayback Machine at archive.org. Hope this helps!Darci (talk) 18:31, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Reliable report of death?

I see there have been two edits reporting her death that have been retracted. I just read of her death today from a reasonably reputable source (arstechnica.com) ... hopefully this isn't more incorrect reporting. Cvkline (talk) 14:24, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

I had reverted a couple of edits here with the wrong month. Maybe it was a copy/paste of another story and they didn't change "today". The same day of the month perhaps help propagate the error. StrayBolt (talk) 14:19, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
