For books, you should use the  template. You can make this easier by going to the web citation site I showed you, switching the menu to ISBN, and putting in the ISBN-10 in. If the ISBN is available, it will automatically generate a cite book template. 15 Hey you! Stop lazing around and help fix this article instead! 
Information-wise, I think it's very expansive. I think you're dead on about the lead. It should focus more upon her accomplishments rather than her death, which takes up quite a chunk. The radio appearances can probably be merged into the main body. I would also caution you on using web sources. For such a notable character, there should be plenty of print sources on her. I can help you cite with print sources if you'd like. 15 Hey you! Stop lazing around and help fix this article instead! 

 My warning to User talk:12.26.86.253 

You are 100% correct that this was abject defamation and could hurt Mr. Cook.  The edit summary "Defamation not specifically directed" is what is Wikifolk mean by exactly what this editor did.  "not specifically directed" means not directed at another editor - that would be a "personal attack" vs "Defamation".  Rest assured, that user will be swiftly blocked if he/she defames again. We typically don't block on the first offense unless it's a threat of violence or something along those lines.    
I'm doing what I can. I don't think I have the capability to do that. I think that requires oversight, which I, as an admin, don't have.  I've listed it on Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#David L. Cook.  You might want to chime in there.  Thanks for the report.    

 RE: Lucy 

Another admin protected the page, so it should be okay for now. I'm going to take a look at the lead later today after I get home from a meeting I have at 5:00 eastern. 311 
I think that WP:RPP for protection would have been better than your choice of WP:AIV, since they have a dynamic IP. If the matter is really serious, go to WP:ANI. You've worked on it quite a lot, right? Take a break for a while, I suppose. 15 
Well I actually went on AIV to report the user and the Admin suggested that because they are an IP address that he semi protect the page. So, it was the admin that did that, not me. As far as all of the editing, I am ok with all of that. It is just the little things that people throw at you that keeps you moving along. I am not really complaining as much as I am kidding around with you. Although it may sound like it!
