  • Hi Cowlibob, review follows: article created 18 December; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook is interested, mentioned in the article and backed up by the ODNB source. Once a QPQ is provided this one should be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 15:57, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
@Dumelow: Thanks for your review, I've added a QPQ above. Cowlibob (talk) 16:25, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
All good - Dumelow (talk) 17:05, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
  • @Cowlibob: Hi, could you suggest something other than a "first woman" hook? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 01:09, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
@Yoninah: Certainly, I'll work something up and let you know.Cowlibob (talk) 10:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
@Yoninah: ALT1 above, feel free to suggest amendments. The table shows 1,959 (after discounting crossover), the book reference has seemingly rounded this to 2000. Cowlibob (talk) 11:45, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Excellent, thanks! ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. I tweaked the grammar in the hook and article, and moved the subject to the front of the hook. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 13:16, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
