It's a known fact of RC patrol that sooner or later, you're going to screw up. If I've reverted something incorrectly, please let me know. I'll have a look at what you say and if it turns out to be my fault, I'll remove the warning. If it's not, I'll provide reasons why I reverted your edits. :)
For your good grace in restoring an editor's good name number, both by reverting an error, and by offering a sincere apology; you may have turned an anon into a long-time positive contributor to this project. Good show. Unschool (talk) 09:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
I graciously accept your Barnstar, with honor my friend. Us rollbackas take those personal attacks from the anons with pride. In the same spirit, your awesome rollbacks and anti-vandalism efforts merit this award. Cheers! Maxis ftw (talk) 01:49, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Mary Jackson (1921–2005) was an American mathematician and aerospace engineer at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and its successor, NASA. She worked at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, for most of her career. She started as a computer at the segregated West Area Computing division in 1951. In 1958, after taking engineering classes, she became NASA's first black female engineer. Jackson had earned the most senior engineering title available by 1979 and realized she could not earn further promotions without becoming a supervisor. She accepted a demotion to become a manager of both NASA's federal women's program and the affirmative action program. Her work sought to influence the career paths of women in science, engineering, and mathematics positions at NASA. Jackson is one of the leading characters in the 2016 book Hidden Figures and one of the three protagonists in the book's film adaptation, released the same year. This NASA photograph of Jackson was taken in 1979.Photograph credit: NASA; restored by Adam Cuerden
