Symbol confirmed.svg Interesting life and achievements, on plenty of sources, no copyvio obvious. We see the image right now on the Main page, so it's soon without image or perhaps on her birthday with it. Nice teamwork! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:35, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I have two technical questions. In the hook, "imaging scientist" is linked to Imaging science, but in the article, her profession is linked to Computer imaging. Secondly, could you rewrite the hook caption? Perhaps: "First direct image of a black hole, 2015"? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:16, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
