First reading

[edit]

This is a fine article and I find little to criticise in it.

  • The lead is a little short for an article of this length. It is meant to summarise the body of the text but I'm not sure there is much from the early life section nor the career section.
  • Be consistent as to how you punctuate "UC Berkeley".
  • I'm delighted to find mention of Robert C. Stebbins, whose book "A natural history of amphibians" I have found so useful.
  • " as he did in his own life as both a Christian and a scientist," - I don't think this is grammatically correct within its context.
  • "(one of whom who died prior to 1956) - extra word.


GA criteria

[edit]
  • The article is well written and complies with MOS guidelines on prose, grammar, structure and layout.
  • The article uses many reliable third-party sources, and makes frequent citations to them. I do not believe it contains original research.
  • The article covers the main aspects of the subject and remains focussed.
  • The article is neutral.
  • The article was created by the nominator four months ago and is stable.
  • The images are relevant and have suitable captions. One has a fair use rationale and the other states "No known copyright restrictions."
