Limb PhD? and a couple more points

The detailed Burke article in FE Week mentions a PhD which Limb started but which "fell by the wayside", but no other doctorate, but I see various refs credit her as "Dr". Where and when? If not Liverpool then there's another "Alumni of ..." category to add.

You might like to delete the above Matt Hyde section from your talk page - it isn't what talk pages are for. If you want to create a draft article, either create it as [[Draft:article name]] or in your own "Sandbox" at [[User:TomMLillywhite/Sandbox]].

And if you create an article like Matt Hyde (CEO) you need to make sure it can be found by someone who looks for Matt Hyde. Sometimes it's a case of adding to a hatnote on a page, as here; sometimes it needs a disambiguation page ("dab page") entry. I've fixed the hatnote. Lots to learn! PamD 16:36, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help. I'm a real newbie, as you can tell! I will find evidence for the PhD, and a source and then add with the addition of 'Alumni of...' category. If I use Ann Limb and Matt Hyde as my first examples to get used to the way I'm meant to do things, hopefully I'll end up being a useful contributer to the wider community by the end of the process!
