  • ... that Wendy James, formerly Professor of Social Anthropology at Oxford University, also worked as a consultant to UNHCR, Operation Lifeline Sudan, and the British Foreign Office?

  • Comment Sources:
     • "served between 1991 and 2000 as occasional consultant to bodies such as the UN Operation Lifeline Sudan, the UNHCR, and development NGOs; as well as acting as a resource person on behalf of the FCO in official peace negotiations over the Sudanese civil war in 2003." (Bio, St Cross College)

  • Article is new and long enough, neutral and both hooks are sourced and interesting (personally I prefer ALT1, but that's your call). As for inline citations, there is one small issue that needs to be resolved: the first reference in the article links to the home page of the website and not the source. It seems the problem is that a log-in is required, or maybe a broken link. If it is the former, I think a quote from the source may be enough per WP:AGF. I also moved the sources out of the hooks. I don't remember if it is a problem, but it won't hurt anyone if I move it.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 15:05, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
  • @Bolter21: Who's Who is free via UK public libraries/with a library card; if others want to use it, it requires a subscription. I've added a template to the ref to confirm this. The link does lead direct her entry but only if/when you're signed in. As you've said I've provided the quote above, but unless you're British (and I can see that you're not) you're unlikely to be able to aces the website without paying.

  • By quote, I meant, to put a quote in the reference it self, but it is no different than an offline source, so it's good to go.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 20:17, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
