one factor in deciding which ones to use, is to use the ones where she was founder or head of the organization, not just a member. Another factor is to focus on the major organizations, not heir sub-organizations or projects or committees. I've indicated the ones which I think fulfill both factors by putting them in italics.

Writing style

The draft article was described as 'promotional' at times for the subject and then at other times for the Center for Bioethics. MaynardClark (talk) 05:15, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

We're getting there, but the smaller, stub article likely would have passed muster with far less criticism, I think !!! MaynardClark (talk) 16:44, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

a smaller less extensive article would have mroe easily passed muster because it would have been more appropriate. There are two possible approaches: proportionate coverage, and everythingthat can be documented. TOnly the first is appropriate to an encyclopedia . DGG ( talk ) 05:38, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Any other problems

There can be a numbered list of problems with the article about Christine Mitchell.

We need to work on that numbered list.MaynardClark (talk) 08:30, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Ambiguity - Using the search street: "Christine Mitchell" Harvard, one finds THE 'Christine I. Mitchell' of Harvard Medical School, but one also finds a woman of the same name who is a doctoral candidate in public health at the adjacent Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Without the word 'Harvard' after the search string, one finds others who also have the name 'Christine Mitchell.' MaynardClark (talk) 05:16, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
