Oh look a wikipedia page about stupidly smart and brilliant woman has a banner over the top complaining about issues with primary sources. What a surprise

@emily_s it galls me that Suzanne Warenghem doesn't have her own page but is listed on her abusive actual traitor Husband's page. She was a heroine of the British Underground during the Nazi Occupation of France.
Back in 2017 I was trying to add more women to Wikipedia. I worked on an article for Deirdre Costello who had been in The Full Monty and shared the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance. Someone put a "needs additional citations" box at the top. So I found good citations. Then several men switched the complaint to "not notable enough" and got the article deleted. Thankfully a Wikipedia-scaping site still has evidence of the article https://en.everybodywiki.com/Deirdre_Costello_(actress)
@slowe euh, this one is a trans computer scientist of "wrote her own self optimising operating system" level of brilliant.
