Lucy Meredith Bryce[edit]

  • ... that haematologist Lucy Meredith Bryce was the director of the first blood transfusion service in Australia?

Created by Penny Richards (talk). Self-nominated at 14:48, 2 January 2016 (UTC).

  • Article is new enough as created on January 2. >1500 characters so long enough. Hook fact is not present within the article. Article doesn't specify that the Victoria service was the first in Australia. Her death at 72 is not cited. It would be nice to mention which school she went to before university and what degrees she obtained in Melbourne. Cowlibob (talk) 18:24, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Appreciate your close attention to this entry, Cowlibob. I believe I addressed all the points you mention in an edit just now (made hook fact explicit in article, cited her death, mentioned her school, mentioned her degrees).Penny Richards (talk) 23:09, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Good to go. Article is neutral, uses inline citations effectively, spotchecks don't reveal close paraphrasing, copyvio, plagiarism issues. Hook is short enough, interesting, neutral, formatted correctly and is verifiable. The QPQ review present. as an aside ref 5, should have a page number to ensure easier verifiability.
