Nice work, thank you. Hook, length, etc all check out. Well-written also. ACP, I hope you don't mind, but I trimmed Libby Houston from the article: her award doesn't seem directly related to the organization. Drmies (talk) 18:20, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. If you feel strongly about deleting her, O.K. It's just that page 6 of the pdf for Bristol Naturalist News (July-August 2012, reference #1) was mostly about Libby. The organization seemed very proud of the award that she had received. (I wasn't able to retrieve a URL for the pdf, but if you're interested, go to reference 3, click on "Events," and click on last pdf-August 2012.) Thanks again. Anne (talk) 03:49, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

I tend to agree with removing Libby Houston. She is but one member of the organization, and probably all of them have achieved one or more awards in their career. However, Anne, Libby herself would be worthy of an article on her own. If you do a search on Wikipedia, Libby Houston is also listed in other articles. I found this link: University of Bristol news Maile66 (talk) 13:10, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Good to go. Good job, Anne.

Thanks for your review! (And I probably will go ahead and write an article on Libby.) Anne (talk) 15:40, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
