Talk:Frederic M. Richards

message: I've been extensively rewriting and expanding this article on Fred Richards, which was originally a stub and rather unbalanced. Since I have never done any assessment myself, and don't really have any feel at all about what the different quality class descriptions actually mean in practice, I'd really appreciate some feedback from those of you who understand the process better. We'll need such knowledge as the WikiProject Biophysics goes forward. Thanks in advance for whatever people can do! Dcrjsr (talk) 00:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm rating it a C. The scientific biography is probably GA-quality but the article is short of personal details. For example, is anything known about his earlier life? Did he have a family? Where did he live? I have added an infobox and you can have a look at the empty fields for some other facts it would be nice to have (open the article in the editor). Also, the timeline doesn't have any citations. You might try getting some help at WikiProject Biography because some people there are very good at digging this kind of stuff up.

replies: text: Thank you very much!  There's actually a lot more info available on both timeline and family, from the first 5 or 6 refs, so I'll work on adding things.  I'm also trying to get a free image of him. Should I include quotes from his retrospectives/obituaries? Dcrjsr (talk) 03:02, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: This is in pretty good shape now.  I'm mainly waiting on permission from his daughter to use a photo, and perhaps something more should be added from his writeup about the Carlsberg lab visit.  Then I'll ask for another assessment.Dcrjsr (talk) 14:00, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi Dcrjsr and Graham Beards, 
I support re-nomatination and re-review of this article for Featured Article once the (IMHO) relatively minor issues from the previous Featured Article review have been addressed. In addition to not being sure if principal author :meta:User:Dcrjsr supported the featured article nomination, it cited IMHO relatively minor stylistic and technical problems with the article. One of the first things mentioned was the  technical error, which turned out to be a duplicate volume parameter that I have just now fixed. The other stylistic and citation issues seem very technical and straightforward to fix. The major concern seemed to be whether or not article principal article author:meta:User:Dcrjsr supported the nomination; given that this is noted professor Jane S. Richardson in real life it is perhaps not surprising that she may have greater concerns on her plate than an FA nomination. But this seems very close to being accepted (IMHO) so worth the effort to reach FA status and get Prof. Richardson's work here recognized.  --Prot783 (talk) 16:19, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
