Review New enough. Long enough. No plagiarism concerns. Hook supported by at least six highly reputable sources. Hook could also include "Known as the "Mother of Masters Swimming"" A picture would be a nice addition to the article and the DYK. QPQ Done. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:47, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

I actually considered including exactly that point. I decided to keep it short and limited to what I saw as the most interesting point, but your alt is also fine. Could not fine a PD photo. Cbl62 (talk) 16:57, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

The sources amply support all of the alternatives. I only thought this was more "hooky", but I am good with either. I would also note that many of the cited newspapers — the LA Times, the Miami Herald, the NY Times and others — used "Mother of Masters Swimming" in their own headlines. I leave that decision then to someone who is in a higher pay grade. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:05, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

You need to apply a "tick" mark if/when your review is complete. Cbl62 (talk) 17:07, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Ta DA! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:13, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Urgent Given the fact that she just died, this would be especially appropriate if we could get it into the queue and onto the main page ASAP. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:55, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
