I love seeing articles about women in science, what can I do? It is rather compact, but well structured. I see a photo of her here. Would you upload it as a fair-use image? I would strongly recommend expanding the Laponite article and nominating it alongside this article. It is so close to meeting DYK requirements, and each of the hooks mentions laponite.

Thank you - great suggestion, I'll work on this later and ping you when done! Chaiten1 (talk) 08:00, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

@Surtsicna: thank you again for the suggestions. I have sourced and uploaded an image for Barbara Neumann; I have also expanded the laponite page and completed a second QPQ, so this is now a double hook.Chaiten1 (talk) 21:27, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

I changed the pipes a bit to make it clear that the subject of the second article is not nanomaterials. I love that you went through the effort of obtaining a free image. Did you contact a relative? Have they sent an email permission to the Commons? Surtsicna (talk) 22:01, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
