Constance Dallas[edit]

(

)

... that in 1951, Constance Dallas was the first woman elected to Philadelphia City Council? Source: Footnote 10 in the article
- ALT1:... that Constance Dallas was the first woman elected to Philadelphia City Council, but lost reelection four years later to the brother of the man she first defeated? Source: Footnotes 10 and 14 in the article

Comment: Might want to use this one on International Women's Day (March 8), or at least some time in March. I like the first hook more, myself, because the second one is a bit convoluted.

5x expanded by Coemgenus (talk). Self-nominated at 23:07, 15 February 2017 (UTC).

Starting to review. Zeete (talk) 19:39, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
New, expanded 5x, from 185 to 6,685 per DYK check; over 1,500 length; Earwig reports violation unlikely, 18.0%; hook interesting, I agree ALT1 is convoluted. QPQ done.

issues:

References need newspaper.com subscription, is there a direct reference to check?
Hook is only fully stated in the lede, without any citation.
External links check (1 - Photo) is 404
Image in article is fair use, but is not for DYK use, so should be ok.

Thanks, Zeete (talk) 20:11, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Zeete, I've added the fact into the body of the article with a citation. I think you should be able to see this link even without a subscription if you need further verification [1]. The relevant fact is in the first paragraph. Thanks for the review, --Coemgenus (talk) 03:04, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Hook now in body with inline citation. Thanks for clip_for_citation link. Could this be used in the article itself for ease of reference? Is there a direct clip for footnote 14?
Also the dead external link should be updated or removed.

Thanks, Zeete (talk) 12:46, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Zeete, I fixed the dead link--now it should like to the archived version. As to the citations, I think the terms of service prevent me from doing that on every story. --Coemgenus (talk) 13:50, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for info on Newspapers.com

Criteria checked as above. Good to go with main hook. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 14:04, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
