I've corrected the prize date from 1985 to 1983, seems I was using websites with wromg info! Note even the AAAS website has her date of birth very wrong, so I'm checking the facts more deeply now.

I have recently added a fair amount of material to the page, based on several further references (see newly edited page), including her autobiography in the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, which may be considered authorative. I have especially added information on her role as one of the first women doing professional research in astrophysics. I know from conversations I had with her a few years back that this is very important to her.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by JoernWilms (talk • contribs) .

The previous update looks good.  I added some minor updates to expand on Burbidge's contributions, but more is probably needed on her specific research contributions and key publications.  Geog Q (talk) 19:15, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

message: No, in WP we do not capitalize "president of the Dry Gulch Bridge Club", or any association, society, committee, etc.  It would make Wikipedia look ridiculous. Try searching on Google for site:washingtonpost.com "President of the American Astronomical Society" and you will see that they don't capitalize it. When I read MOS:JOBTITLES, and it talks about sometimes capitalizing "Offices, titles, and positions such as president, king, emperor, grand duke, lord mayor, pope", I think by "president" they mean "an elected official serving as both chief of state and chief political executive in a republic having a presidential government" (Merriam-Webster), not the head of a society. I will change it back to lower case. Chris the speller yack 04:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
