message: *Clearly there aren't enough references.
*Much of the information seems to be wrong or misleading. The article implies she didn't go to university until after Stalin's death in 1953. This is contradicted by this source, which says she completed her PhD in 1951 and began teaching at the University of Leningrad in 1950. It also says her father was denounced in 1937, not 1939. This should be checked.
*There is a lot of language that is not neutral.  I will try to fix that up.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: I've updated the article to reflect the source you provided and removed the  template.  Yeah, I didn't think much about the collapse line.  That could be changed. Dan Bloch (talk) 09:24, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Is it relevant to have Google Doodle mentioned among Honours ? Somehow I find it trivializing - awards and honours should include only prizes awarded by societies etc. - Shayak  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.213.201.197 (talk) 15:02, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it is trivializing - and not very notable.--Jack Upland (talk) 17:59, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

text: I've changed "Honours" to "Recognition", which is slightly better.  The real problem here is that Ladyzhenskaya's article is so short that none of her more significant honors (or recognitions) are mentioned, making it look strange. Dan Bloch (talk) 18:39, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

text: Looking through a few examples in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&limit=500&target=Google+Doodle&namespace=0, mentions of Google Dooble seems more common to be in a Legacy section but are sometimes in an Honors section. Regarding notability: are you arguing that all of those hundreds of links aren't notable? Bennetto (talk) 19:04, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

message: Reference is needed for the claim Olga Ladyzhenskaya was the first to provide rigorous proof for the convergence of finite difference method applied to PDE 'Navier Stokes'. The PDE doesn't converge globally. Please provide the date and the reference to her proof. Warrior4just (talk) 18:20, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
