  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As most sources are foreign-language, unable to check for close paraphrasing. The first hook appeals to me; it's interesting that once you click on the page you learn her dual citizenship. Foreign-language hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT1 is less interesting and too much like your hook for Elaine Van Blunk. Image is freely licensed. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:11, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
