Biography assessment rating comment[edit]

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Heidijane 13:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Destubbing this article will be difficult. HR E-D, like many serious and noteworthy academics, was not a high visibility personality and little information about her or her life is in the public domain. Sjc 06:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Potential passing[edit]

It has been reported that Ms. Ellis-Davidson has died this year (2006). Will seek out confirmation before altering the article. --NJHeathen 23:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect you may be mistaken, I have trawled the obituaries and have found no confirmatory reference; one hopes that Ms Ellis-Davidson will be around for a good long while yet. Sjc 06:22, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additional information[edit]

I have added more publication information and a note about her name which I noticed while browsing one of her books. Please feel free to contact me since I have not gotten an account at freydis.johnsdotre@gmail.com .
