Noel T. Keen
edit... that Noel T. Keen, a previous recipient of an award named after a fellow plant pathologist, now has an award named for himself?
ALT1:... that professor Noel T. Keen discovered he had leukemia only after he was hurt in a car accident?- ALT2:... that an image of Noel T. Keen in the Gluck Gateway Mural in Riverside, California, depicts him standing next to the parallel β-helix structure of pectate lyase that he discovered?

- @Chris troutman: This needs a full review, but I've struck ALT1 because it's not supported by the reference in the article, which also needs to be amended. I'd suggest ALT4:

New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I really like the quirkiness of ALT2, and tweaked it slightly. ALT2 hook refs verified and cited inline. ALT1/ALT4 is all right, but the article doesn't mention that Ruth Allen was a plant pathologist. If you wish to use that hook, please mention it and cite it inline.

- Yoninah, I've added this into the article. Relentlessly (talk) 21:11, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Relentlessly: you added the fact that she's a plant pathologist, but didn't reference it. This would generally be a minor issue, but since the hook is saying the award is named after her and she was a plant pathologist, this connection needs to be cited. Even her article doesn't reference the fact that she's a plant pathologist. Yoninah (talk) 21:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
- Yoninah, have you looked at my edit? I did add a reference. Relentlessly (talk) 22:11, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
