• Article new enough, long enough. Article and hook sourced. Hook interesting. QPQ done. Seems good. Kingsif ( talk) 20:39, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

• Really? This is a change; usually we see "first" women hooks. Is there anything else you could add to the hook, or suggest a different hook, to focus on her actual accomplishments? Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 23:01, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

• Yoninah Thanks for your feedback. I've added a couple of ALT suggestions, and would be happy to hear your comments on them. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 08:11, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
• Thank you, I think ALT1 works, though without the dates. Kingsif, would you mind reviewing ALT1 so I can promote it? Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 18:24, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Alt1 is good, Alt2 would be better phrased as "won two of her three bouts between 2012 and 2014", but I prefer Alt1 anyway. Kingsif ( talk) 18:28, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you! Yoninah ( talk) 18:43, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• OK, I came to promote this but the article is lacking some personal background. Also, the birthdate must be sourced, preferably in an "Early life" section. Yoninah ( talk) 23:36, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• Kingsif and Yoninah Thanks both for looking at this. I've added an early life section that uses a Spanish language source - I've put the relevant text as a quote in the reference so that it can be checked in a translation tool. Date of birth is also in the BoxRec reference for that section. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 12:42, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

• Great, thanks! Yoninah ( talk) 12:48, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
