Women's suffrage in film[edit]

  • ... that film pioneers Alice Guy-Blaché, Georges Méliès, and Charlie Chaplin all made films about women's suffrage? Sources: "The Consequences of Feminism was made during what we now call the 'first wave' of feminism... focused on winning the right to vote." Malone, The Female Gaze, ch. 1 [1]; "Suffragists who attempt to commandeer a fire brigade in Fire! Fire! Fire! (Méliès, 1911)..." Stamp, Movie Struck Girls p. 164[2]; "In Mack Sennett's 1914 short A Busy Day (originally titled A Militant Suffragette), Charlie Chaplin plays an obnoxious female character who (spoiler alert!) is knocked into the sea and left to drown." [3]

  • @Nonmodernist: Reviewing. The article was recently created and most of its content is large. Few sentences are in need of a citation but the length of the article is good to be approved. However, my only negative comment is the lead's short length and subsections. The hook seems pretty good so I don't think it needs to be changed. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 22:27, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
Okay, I'm kind of new to this so I'll give a complete review:
  • New: The article was recently created.
  • Long enough: The size of the article is quite large for a recently created article.
  • Cited hook: The google book link shows the material the user provided for the hook
  • Within policy: All material seems to be written from a neutral point of view while all images are free to use rather than nonfree. All citations appear to be reliable source and it shows there was more research considering it uses an article by scholars.

Review requirement: The user previously nominated 4 articles so it passes the requirements. I give this DYK my approval.Tintor2 (talk) 23:14, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

  • @Tintor2: Thanks! Now you just need to add one of the colored approval ticks located above the editing window – green for verified hook source, gray for offline or foreign-language hook source. Yoninah (talk) 23:26, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

@Nonmodernist: Good work with the article.Tintor2 (talk) 23:31, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

  • @Tintor2: What do you mean? I'm unable to see the page on Google Books. If you can view it, then you put a green tick. If not, a gray tick. Yoninah (talk) 23:51, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
