Removed Chicago PhD claim

[edit]

I removed text stating that McKellar has a PhD from Chicago. The cite used is pretty clearly based on Wikipedia, so I think it's a case of citogenesis. McKellar's own websites https://mckellarmath.com/about/ and http://www.danicamckellar.com/about/ only mention her UCLA degree. Ylee (talk) 19:33, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This edit reintroduced the claim. Please discuss. -- UKoch (talk) 16:09, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect the claim is due to a misreading of this article in which it's said that "The other member of the math proof team did continue in math. Ms. Winn, now Dr. Winn, completed her Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Chicago[...]" pgbrown (talk) 16:47, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That makes some sense. It has been corrected now, so all is well. -- UKoch (talk) 16:45, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
