The article was incubated in userspace before moved to mainspace, timeline syncs. Article is long enough and well sourced, every paragraph has at least one, but her burial in Arlington needs a citation. FindAGrave is not RS. ALT0 hook is only present in a photo caption, without an inline source, and I believe that we would need it to be in prose to qualify. ALT1 is interesting and sourced inline. Article appears to be written neutrally. QPQ is done. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:45, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Muboshgu Thank you for reviewing. I've updated the the citation for her burial place. I don't really have a better source for ALT0 (actually stating that he named the boat after her - I also put that source thinking for the picture, my apologies). There are multiple sources referencing the boat, so it's been updated. However, if ALT1 is interesting enough I'd prefer to go with it, anyways! Thanks again for your time and thank you for the ping. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamieF (talk • contribs) 16:17, August 19, 2022 (UTC)
  - All is well (but don't forget to sign your posts). Source for Arlington burial is now present. ALT1 is approved. ALT0 can be approved if you add https://www.canyonconservancy.org/copy-of-major-john-wesley-powell as an inline citation in prose for the fact, but I think ALT1 is more interesting. I also think her being the first woman to climb Pike's Peak would also be more interesting than the boat, so that could be ALT2 if you want. I'm adding some more info to ALT1 (linking JWP and mentioning the Civil War battle camps) to clarify the hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:33, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh wait, I just noticed that ALT0 is cited in the lead. ALT0 is approved too. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:51, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
