I feel very strongly that personal gossip about living, active people should be kept to a minimum in Wikipedia biographies. In this case, I know Ruth Lawrence slightly and I think that her privacy should be respected.

[edit] Middle name

Her PhD thesis says her middle name is Jayne, not Elke, so I've altered it.Blaise 16:10, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Interesting. Up to about 1996 her publications are credited to "R.J. Lawrence", but her Home Page says Elke, and this article from 2000 calls her "Ruth E. Lawrence". Perhaps she changed her middle name when she married ?? Gandalf61 13:04, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Candidates for the Oxford entrance interview exam

Something's wrong here. 530 sounds about right for the number of candidates applying for maths at Oxford in any one year - if anything, it sounds a little low - but the article implies that that was the number applying for St Hugh's, which is just one out of 30 colleges that admit undergraduates. The exam is common across all colleges, and I can quite believe that she came top out of 530, so the St Hugh's bit needs to be moved elsewhere. Philip Trueman 14:19, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
