Interesting life and work, on plenty of sources, no copyvio obvious. I like the hook. In the article, you may consider saying "nun" (as here) to avoid two "sister" in a row, and check for ref numbers in ascending order. I performed minoe copy-editing, - please check if still correct. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:44, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Good evening, Father. Great work as usual. I'll be reviewing this shortly. Should be light work. Best, ThaesOfereode (talk) 22:55, 6 May 2026 (UTC)
- Suggest adding the last name pronunciation. It should be /gεfrə/ unless you have info to contrary.
- We might explain the difference between a religious sister and a nun for the non-Catholic audience. I think your average reader equates the two.
- Her first time using English as her primary language was when she entered the convent. – Well, no. School would've been, no?
- Presumably "skin-hungry" means "lustful"? If so, maybe link for clarity.
- She is no longer affiliated with the remaining clinics that use her name, which they do with permission. – I might recommend but they continue to use her name with her permission or similar; the wording is somewhat awkward as is.
- the Saints conducted Sister Roz bobblehead giveaways → the Saints gave away Sister Roz bobbleheads
That's about all I got for prose. Source review to follow. ThaesOfereode (talk) 00:17, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Darth Stabro: Courtesy ping to bring attention. ThaesOfereode (talk) 17:25, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- @ThaesOfereode: I was waiting for the source review, but I can get started! ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 18:51, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- No worries. I wondered if this might've been the case. In general, I usually wait to do source reviews until after the prose is taken care of in case the wording changes substantively. I guess it was just force of habit this time since there's not much prose to fix. I'll get on the source review this evening and we'll get this thing passed through.

- 1. Unfortunately I don't have any reliable source for pronunciation.
- 2. I'm not sure that's necessary; I'm not sure how you could do it without interrupting article flow, and the term is linked in case people are wondering.
- 3. She entered the convent in St. Paul at age 19, and for the first time used English as her primary language what the source says. I'm assuming this means the language she defaulted to or used more often.
- 4. I wouldn't assume skin-hungry mean's lustful. Probably more along the lines of touch-starved (which in its lead says "also known as... skin hunger"
- 5. Changed.
- 6. Changed. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 01:03, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- @ThaesOfereode: ping, source review and prose review responded to. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 01:03, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- No problem, but if you come across a YouTube clip of a sporting event or something, I think that would be perfectly acceptable.
- Recognize that's tough. Rescinded.
- Agreed, but the phrase was occasionally punished in school for accidentally slipping into German seems to indicate that her primary schooling was (quite strictly) English only, which means her convent English would've been (at most) the second time in her life English was the primary language.
- Fair enough. Looking at the source, that appears to be the intended meaning (though maybe linking to help clarify that?)
- Rest has been addressed. ThaesOfereode (talk) 23:57, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

- Not sure why the URLs don't work anymore, but the articles for [9] and [10] are accessible via the Wikipedia Library. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 00:55, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- I went and found the link for 9 on TWL and tried fixing it but got the same error when I tried to access the link through WP. The URLs look right so have no idea what the issue is. The stuff on 9 checks out so I'm just going to AGF 10. If I figure out the issue, I'll come back and fix them, but the fact of the matter is that the sources verify the body. Passing now; great work.
