- ... that when women's champion Dotty Fothergill (pictured) sued in 1970 for being denied the right to complete in men's tournaments, the Professional Bowlers Association countersued for "disastrous ridicule"? Source: this and this

Cbl62 Generally the article looks good. However, a couple of issues: Please can you add a source for her date of birth? I don't see it explicitly mentioned in any of the online sources. And there isn't a source for the 1969 BPAA All-Star championship win either- I've added a citation needed tag. Once these are fixed, please ping me and I'll do a complete review.

- @Joseph2302: Fixed. Cbl62 (talk) 17:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- Full review:
Article is long enough (4514 characters), new enough (created 2 February, nominated 9 February), and article is within policy. Article is well sourced now that above issues have been fixed. Copyvio tool picks up a 16.8% chance of copyright violation, but this is a false positive, as all of the "same content" are just names of organisations, or a couple of words the same
Hook is short enough, interesting, in the article, and well cited
QPQ done
Image is freely licenced (public domain in the US, which is the image's country of origin), used in the article, and looks good at low resolution
Overall, this nomination now passes. Congratulations, a really interesting article. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:22, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth, Joseph2302: "the right to complete in men's tournaments" should be "the right to compete in men's tournaments".--Ipigott (talk) 10:55, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Ipigott Agreed, though this looks to be correct when promoted (it's correct in Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2). Joseph2302 (talk) 11:04, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Joseph2302: That's because Cwmhiraeth got there just before you. Thanks for responding so quickly.--Ipigott (talk) 11:09, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
