Article image(s)

@Schmarrnintelligenz and Jesswade88: Honestly, I prefer the 2017 image for the lead section/infobox. Now, both images are quite good: both are high resolution, display the subject full face, in focus, happy, all of that, so if people feel strongly in favor of the 2019 one, I won't object strongly, but the 2017 image, is, well, more fun.

On a related matter - I don't think the Gallery of images adds that much. These, in contrast, are not great images, you can barely see the subject, and they don't really convey much information, basically - "she gives talks" - which, really is conveyed by the large quantity of text on the page that says how she is a science communicator. I'd be OK with one or two of these images illustrating one or two of the sections about her being a science or Wikipedia communicator, but I don't think having a dedicated Gallery section for them is very useful.

Also pinging Dr. W in person, since though her views shouldn't determine the content of the article, especially on a cosmetic matter like this they should be strongly considered. --GRuban (talk) 15:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry Schmarrnintelligenz - I hate this new photo. It's horrible and makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Jesswade88 (talk) 05:52, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[1] 2017 image restored by User:Zeromonk. Any opinions about the gallery? --GRuban (talk) 13:40, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just a comment that I also think the 2017 image is better. -sche (talk) 16:58, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Year of Birth

Hi everyone, I noticed that the year of birth said both 1988/1989. I have not seen this other than in cases when a person's date of birth is either disputed or unknown. I am wondering if the correct year could be determined and put on? If there is another reason of any sort why it isn't no worries from me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bennyj600 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Author(s) of reference Nature's 10

In the references, all 10 authors of "Ten people who mattered this year" (Nature's 10, ref name="n10"), doi=10.1038/d41586-018-07683-5, are named. The Nature's 10 text is composed of ten texts by ten authors. The part about Jess Wade was authored by Nisha Gaind, not by the others. Should we name Nisha Gaind alone, omitting those nine who did not contribute to the section about Jess Wade? --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 21:20, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
