Vera Popova

Vera Bogdanovskaia

5x expanded by Aciram and Victuallers (talk). Self nominated at 08:40, 22 April 2014 (UTC).

According to DYK check, the article is 342 characters short of being a x5 expansion. It's a shame because, in my opinion, this is exactly the kind of article that needs to be expanded and DYK should feature, so I hope you can get this one on the front page.
  • The Ogilvie and Rayner-Canham sources has a different transliteration of her name. Perhaps adding alternate transliterations or her name in cyrillic could boost the character count.
  • The wording of the hook is awkward. Why not something simple like "chemist Vera Popova (pictured) was the first woman to die conducting scientific research?"
  • Hook source and picture check out.
  • Your hook source cites this article as its source for that info. I've uploaded it to dropbox in case it can help you add a few extra characters to the article.
  • Your primary sources, Ogilvie and Rayner-Canham, list her under her maiden name. Should not our article do so as well?
