message: I am working on referencing this article -- I've found a number of sources, but haven't gone through them to fact-check the statements in this article. Possible sources are listed in the bibliography... --phoebe 23:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Bzuk has made some nice additions here. Since I haven't had a response, I will add in the two changes I mentioned above, and pass the article. Good job all.  The only concern I have is that there are too many pictures. Would it be possible/reasonable to put the two airplane images in a gallery at the bottom of the article? Maybe before the "see also" section?--DO11.10 17:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Additions and GA pass

message: Hello all, 
do you think a bibliography of MacGill's published engineering papers would be helpful here? There are eight of them that show up in Compendex (though four seem to be the "factors in mass production" article, reprinted); it would be easy to make a list. Or would that be too much detail? -- phoebe/(talk)  19:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, I think that they could simply be added to the current bibliography section.--DO11.10 20:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Generally, all Canadian subjects should use mdy conventions. Unless the topic was a military one, then a dmy style would apply.  FWIW, I are Canadajian and I know that Wickywacky says either style will apply but I have yet to find any Canadian publications that use the more-British or international style. When this article was first being developed, almost all articles were using the dmy style until some changes were made in the style guide to accommodate the different styles for North American and international date usage.

message: The article claims  that MacGill "was the world's first woman aircraft designer" , but according to E. Lilian Todd: "The New York Times issue of November 28, 1909, identifies her as the first woman in the world to design airplanes". So who gets the honours the Yanks or the Canucks?

replies: text:  there is no doubt that Todd created her plane in 1909. Lots of news about it, like  Then German Amelie Beese patented her flying "boat" in 1912 and built it in 1913. . MacGill may well have been the first woman employed as an engineer to do it, but she was clearly not the first designer. SusunW (talk) 01:37, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
