Hello! First, I would like to compliment
User:EAWH on the article. I have a few proposed changes which I have outlined on a
sandbox. I plan to implement these changes in the next two weeks; if everyone is amenable to these changes, please allow me to make the changes I have proposed. Thank you for your advice!

I think adding more facts to the article would be great, but what would really expand the article nicely would be a summary of Sharpe's advocacy and scholarship. For example, see the way selected works are not just listed but are described at
Emi Nakamura (one of the most distinguished researchers of her generation).--

I'm planning to create a page for WISER, the organization Sharpe created. I've been in contact with Sharpe herself and believe I have all public information on the organization to date. I think this is a good opportunity to expand on her advocacy and also link between the pages. More info on my user page.

Hello all, thank you for the input! I have made minor edits to the page and will consider revising it again once the WISER page has been created.

This article does a good job presenting a comprehensive account without presenting bias one way or another.
I’d suggest revising the lead section to say more about her specific areas of focus.
I think the lead section is the most important thing for you to focus on.

Peer Review #2
I think this article has gotten to a good place in terms of foundation. It covers some really interesting aspects of Sharpe's career which I appreciate being made public!
Is it possible to find more sources to contribute to the article? I know they may be scarce, but more scholarship/information could round out various sections. I'm thinking publications by Sharpe and by WISER could be discussed at some length in the career section.
Overall, nice work; the writing flows well and is very information-rich.
