Some initial comments (not all essential for GA-status):
Mostly okay regarding copyvio issues, but I picked up on the phrase and self-learning she earned the title of engineer being from https://www.asme.org/topics-resources/content/kate-gleason - you need to rewrite that in your own words.
In the sentance Today, nearly three quarters of the company's sales are international. you should avoid using the word "today", especially when the sources are over 15 years old. You might want to take a look at WP:ASOF.
Spell out the meaning of AEF rather than just use the acronym.
RIT is used later on but never defined, and so is ASME.
@Rocfan275: I still need to do another pass to check the references, etc. but it's looking good to far. Feel free to comment on the above in the meantime. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:50, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
[1] Page 8 is the last page of chapter 1, which doesn't verify the date of birth. Page 4 does though, so please correct this.
[2] I don't have access, so taking on good faith it's okay, but I confirmed the source exists and is relevant.
[4] Confirmed.
[9] I don't have access, so taking on good faith it's okay, but I confirmed the source exists and is relevant.
[13] Page 58 confirms the part about cathedral at Pisa, and the University Avenue location, but I can't see where it confirms the 1904 and 1911 dates?
[16] Confirmed.
[18] I don't have access, so taking on good faith it's okay. Couldn't confirm source exists. If you could add a link to an archive that may be helpful, but certainly isn't required for GA.
[23] Confirmed about the pledge, not sure if that alone confirms Gleason was later a strong supporter of women's suffrage? But the subsequent sentances after ref [23] in the article seem to confirm it anyway, so I think it's fine.
[26] The 1918 date is confirmed, but that source is written by an independant writer, not ASME itself.
[30] Confirmed the 1998 date. I'm going to assume good faith that ref [29] confirms the donation amount as I've not checked that.
@Rocfan275: If you can comment on and/or correct [1], [13], and [26], I think we're probably in a position to promote this. Thanks for your time on it. -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:21, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
[1] is an error. I have corrected the footnote to page 4.
[13] The missing dates of the construction are covered elsewhere, and I have added footnotes.
[18] is also covered in Janis Gleason's biography. I have added a footnote. The newspaper source was added by a different editor, and I do not have access to it.
[26] I reviewed Janis Gleason's bibliography and found contemporary sources from 1914 which she cites. The 1918 date that Nancy Giges gives is almost certainly a mistake, and I decided to delete the explanatory note and move the ASME biography to further reading.
The Springer link should make a good addition to the further reading section.
Thank you for this, I'm now happy to promote. Keep up the good work! -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:43, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
