Hi! Just added a new entry, Dorothy Vaughan. I've added two references, including one to an obituary. This person was incorrectly flagged as a living person. I'm going to edit out the flag tag but was curious as to why it was categorized as a living person. Thanks!

- Hi Margot. Those tags are added manually, so it looks like someone just made a mistake (you can see their edit here). Anyway, I've removed the tag for you. Thanks for your contributions; it looks like a good start to the article. — Earwig talk 05:08, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
- Mea culpa - I was the one who added that tag, Margotleeshetterly. I failed to notice the death date at the start of the article. Instead, I looked for anything about her death at the end, after retirement, and when I did not find it I jumped to the wrong conclusion that she was still alive. Thanks for sorting out my mistake, The Earwig. I have since updated the article to add that information at the end. Good luck with this article, and with whatever comes next.--Gronk Oz (talk) 11:27, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
