... that Dorothy Vredenburgh Bush was the first woman to call roll for the Democratic National Convention?
- Reviewed: This is my first article.

- long enough (barely), inline citations looks good, prose looks ok. Hook looks interesting enough. Good to go.BabbaQ (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

- Dgallery you mentioned this was your first article, this nomination has stalled and needs your attention. valereee (talk) 03:14, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
- Yoninah this editor appears to have written this article for a class, I've found the hook info and added it to the article, it was in the same article as was already cited for that paragraph. valereee (talk) 03:30, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you, valereee. Hook ref verified and cited inline. I think it's more important to mention that she did it for 44 years. Here is a revised hook:
- ALT1:
... that Dorothy Vredenburgh Bush was the first woman to call roll for the Democratic National Convention, doing so for 44 years? 
Reviewer needed to verify ALT1. Pinging @BabbaQ:. Yoninah (talk) 14:33, 25 November 2018 (UTC)- ALT2: ... that Dorothy Vredenburgh Bush was the first woman to call roll for the Democratic National Convention, doing so for 12 straight conventions? valereee (talk) 14:42, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Valereee: if you want to suggest ALT2, you'll need a source. Right now this fact is not in the article. Yoninah (talk) 14:43, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks! Done, source was same article as is already used for that sentence. valereee (talk) 14:46, 25 November 2018 (UTC) ETA: "44 years" isn't actually in the article, we can only arrive at it by subtracting 1944 from 1988, and if she did it in 1944 then that's actually 45 years valereee (talk) 14:51, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
