Chandler volunteered the college to take the lead role in the initiative, resolving funding disputes." — The sentence is too long and a little convoluted. Perhaps it could be split in two simple sentences instead? 796: 42: 315:"Walton was born in 1914 in Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the fourth of five daughters." — It should mention the date, which also avoids the awkward repetition of "in". Perhaps — "Jean B. Walton was born on March 6, 1914, the fourth of five daughters, in Middletown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania." 648:
returns no results with that information (not super surprising that a more minor professional association doesn't have their historical records available online). I imagine that the Claremont Colleges Library Special Collections, which houses her papers, would be able to answer that sort of question

Murray writes (p. 125) that he believed strongly "that the development of a true mathematician must proceed without interruption", so he took exception to the fact that she took a break in her studies to teach. Murray doesn't explicitly say it, but reading between the lines, I imagine that there was
588:
Murray includes a brief quote from her that she felt it was "too remote from life". She also talks about how math was a boy's club, so combining that with her self-reliant attitude, she didn't have the support of a community. I allude to that in the last sentence of the early life section, but I'm
250:
I initially did that, but Murray (p. 198) talks about the publication of her doctoral dissertation as "perhaps, both her first and last act as a professional mathematician", so my sense is that, despite it being her education, it just wasn't her calling and isn't why she's notable, so it doesn't
283:, and to then circle back and give the summary of her life in the longer second paragraph. For that same reason, I'm going to restore the growing up sentence to the second paragraph to fit with that framework. Does that work alright? 1252:
A lot of research and hardwork went into writing this article. It covers all major aspects and utilizes its sources to the fullest. The quality of prose is good, and it meets the criteria. Thank you for your great work,

belong in the first sentence. I was able to cover the mathematics part of her life more thoroughly because of the details in Murray, but her role in Murray ultimately is that of someone who left the field.
381:"she taught high school in New Jersey for three years." — Preferably it should be — "she taught (subject) at high school in New Jersey for three years." — Also, will there be a name of that high school? 276:"She spent the bulk of her career at Pomona College in Claremont, California." — This could be removed as it summarizes what is already written in summary style in the second paragraph of the lead. 834:
To avoid the navbox being too cluttered with names, I included only presidents and Sumner (who was a de facto president). There are some links that I think readers would find relevant, such as
222:
I unfortunately couldn't find that anywhere. I know some academics without a middle name invent one so as to more easily differentiate themselves, so perhaps this is an example of that.
678:"and was chair of the college section of the National Association of Women Deans, Administrators and Counselors." — State the year or the period in which she was the chair. 723:
mention the date. Apologies I can't offer more details on so many things here; I wish I could, but as I mentioned in the note, the available sourcing is quite limited.
156: 970: 80: 437:"she did not fit his idea of a typical mathematician." — Nothing wrong here, but is it possible to expand on this? As in, in which ways did she not fit the bill? 755:"When she retired, students established the Jean B. Walton Scholarship Fund in her honor." — Mention that this was established by a few of her former students. 585:"she became increasingly disconnected from mathematics" — Are there specific reasons as to why she became disconnected, or a quote by Walton on this decision? 247:"was an American academic administrator and women's studies scholar." — Could "mathematician" be added, since it constitutes a significant part of her life? 70: 47: 1197: 504:
We're thinking along the same wavelength—that's something I wanted to include, but it unfortunately doesn't seem to be in any of the available sources.

about her parents visiting but used the sexist "George Walton and Mrs. Walton" framework, and Murray (p. 58) talks only about George and "his wife".

a healthy dose of old fashioned sexism as well, so I left it a little intentionally vague and most readers will probably assume that's the reason.
958: 1028:, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or 501:"Walton began her career teaching math as an instructor at Swarthmore," — Mention the year in which she was appointed, if that is available. 1264: 876: 173: 150: 126: 642:"Walton was the president of the California Association of Woman Administrators and Counselors for two years" — Add "from YYYY to yyyy" 922: 1029: 122: 52: 962: 1259: 889: 871: 186: 168: 146: 107: 75: 1049: 835: 839: 99: 560:
She presumably taught math (similar to what would be a TA role today), so I added that. I wasn't able to find dates.
353: 1201: 831:
I am not sure if the Pomona College template is needed here (it does not have a link to Walton's article either).

The approach I took with the lead was to give a very broad definition of who she was in the first paragraph, per
1189: 348: 1193: 1114: 993: 1110: 1094: 1069: 1065: 1221: 1162: 1032:, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the 1004:

1181: 115: 17: 926: 409:"She then earned a master's degree from Brown University master's degree" — Master's in? 189:, sounds good! Thanks for picking this up, and looking forward to your comments! Cheers, 384:
She taught math, so I'll add that, but I wasn't able to find the name of the school(s).
1140:
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
1133: 1005: 842:(which mentions the weigh-in), but I've set it to collapsed so it's not too prominent. 343:"Her mother was a homemaker." — Do we know her name? If so, that could be mentioned. 557:"She also taught at the University of Pennsylvania." — When and what did she teach? 1025: 650: 868:
A well-written and informative article, it should pass. That will be all for now.
716:"In her elderly years" — Use the specific year or the period in which she moved. 92: 466:"published her dissertation" — Could write the title of her dissertation here. 941:
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
1254: 898: 848: 805: 764: 729: 690: 659: 623: 595: 566: 538: 510: 475: 447: 418: 390: 362: 324: 289: 257: 228: 195: 892:! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to address. Cheers, 346:
