• Article is new and plenty long. There are citations in every paragraph, including for the hook fact. AGF as many of them require a subscription. Not sure why you're presenting her married name when her page is located at her birth name. Not that important an issue to me. Copyvio says a violation is possible, but it's because of the direct quotations that are properly attributed. QPQ is done. Image appears to be public domain. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 00:22, 6 September 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Thank you @ Muboshgu:... I used the shorter name to keep in-line with the character count limit... no other reason. Whispyhistory ( talk) 06:40, 6 September 2022 (UTC) reply
    • You can use her common name. My calculation is that you're way fine on the character limit. WP:DYKHOOK: no more than about 200 characters (including spaces and the question mark, but not including the ..., the space immediately following the ..., or any (pictured)). I calculate 124 characters in the hook at present. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 18:37, 7 September 2022 (UTC) reply
      • @ Whispyhistory and Muboshgu: discussions on WP:RSN indicate that scroll.in possibly isn't the most reliable for factual reporting – is there another source that backs up the hook's claim? theleekycauldron ( talk • contribs) (she/her) 04:45, 8 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Sure... will add and change a few references. Whispyhistory ( talk) 05:27, 8 September 2022 (UTC) reply
