Line 39:
*"European Fellowship" don't think the latter word needs capitalization
**"European Fellowship" was the name of the fellowship, which is why it's in capitals. Would quotation marks help make that clearer? [[User:Physhist|Physhist]] ([[User talk:Physhist|talk]]) 14:08, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
***Nah, unnecessary. [[User:Esculenta|Esculenta]] ([[User talk:Esculenta|talk]]) 18:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 
'''Career'''
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
*"1909-1910" (and others) number ranges require an endash, not a hyphen

*"The first edition of American Men of Science, published in 1906, recognized Maltby's name with a star denoting her as one of the country's top scientists." What was the start for? (I assume it's because she was a womenwoman, but perhaps it should be said explicitly?) Was she the first womenwoman to receive this accolade? [https://www.encyclopedia.com/women/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/maltby-margaret-e-1860-1944 This] source says her name remained on that list for the next six editions of the publication.
** Added further details about the star. She wasn't the first woman, although one of the first since that was the first edition. The star was a recognition for just being one of the most notable scientists of the time. I'd have to do further digging to find out how many women were also starred in that first edition.

*That same source also says "She was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society, and in 1960 her photograph was included in the ''American Journal of Physics'' where she was one of eight physicists profiled, and the only woman.", which seems like interesting/relevant info that could be included. Also, it mentions a May 5, 1944 ''New York Times'' obit; have you seen this?
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
*not necessary for GA, but it would be nice to give translated titles, and doi's for the other pubs listed. Some of these are fully available for viewing too (e.g. https://zenodo.org/records/1589399/files/article.pdf?download=1)

===Wrapping up===
Improvements look fine! I've made [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1234313931&oldid=1234307785&title=Margaret_Eliza_Maltby some minor copyedits & image caption tweaks]; please check and revert what you don't like. Finishing up this review:
 
*images: all images are public domain, and used appropriately in the article with proper captions. I suggest that cropping the white (yellow) space around a couple of them would be an improvement. There's a bit a text squeeze between the "Early life" image and the infobox (that might be helped a bit with a crop). These suggestions are beyond the GA criteria though.
*spotchecks:
:I confirmed all statements attributed to Gill 2016, Rossiter 1992, and Kidwell 2006. No problems noted.
*while checking Rossiter 1992, I saw mention that Maltby had studied physics under [[Woldemar Voigt]], which looks like an encyclopedic piece of information.
 
To conclude, I think the article meets the [[WP:WIAGA|GA critera]] and am happy to promote it at this time. Cheers, [[User:Esculenta|Esculenta]] ([[User talk:Esculenta|talk]]) 18:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
