Phyllis Richman[edit]

(

)

... that food critic Phyllis Richman was once called "the most feared woman in Washington"?

The article hook is referenced and short enough. It was newly created today with over 1500 bytes of prose, and so is qualified to be a DYK nom; I can't see any copyvios. I got rid of a small issue in the second section ("She has not let it slow her down entirely" implies that Parkinson's should cause people to, for lack of a better term, slow down entirely). There also needs to be cites for two statements in the Personal Life section (where Richman grew up, and her time at the university) and the editorial board statements in the Professional Life section. Otherwise, I'd say it is good. Epicgenius (talk) 21:27, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

@Epicgenius:. Cites now added for the editorial boards, and Richman's time at Purdue and Pennsylvania. (Brandeis and Harvard were already covered, I think). Darragoldstein (talk · contribs) who wrote the article isn't available due to an approaching real-world deadline; however the Greenbelt fact appears to be correct, judging by the mention here that Richman worked on the local Greenbelt News Review while still a high-school student. I'm not sure it's enough for a citation, but perhaps it's enough to resolve the point? In which case we would be good to go. Jheald (talk) 22:46, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

@Jheald: Yes, that's fine. The Wordpress source is good enough. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:27, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
