Wiki should be able to name organic reactions and not wait for others, I have never heard of a named reaction named after a female [1] could be a first!.
== There are people who are taken to calling nucleophilic interception of the Staudinger ligation product the "Bertozzi-Staudinger reaction", but it's not synthetically useful, and it's not particularly novel. Also, the transition-metal catalyzed version of the Mapp Reaction was independently and concurrently reported in the literature by another group, but the Mapp group did a more thorough characterization of both reactions very shortly afterward.
In the image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ireland-Claisen_Rearrangement_Scheme.png BuLi is not the correct base to have over the reaction arrow. The problem is that BuLi will reaction with the ester at the carbonyl (as a nucleophile rather than a base) to produce a tertiary alcohol. LDA is a better choice of base. I can re-do the figure, but at the moment I'll leave this edit for the author of the original figure. BTW: Nice page!
