Kerttu Saalasti

... that the University of Oulu's founding was described as the "most significant achievement" of Kerttu Saalasti (pictured)? Source: "Her most significant achievement is likely the founding of the University of Oulu in 1959." [1]

New article, long enough, well-referenced, neutrally written with no significant copyvios. The hook is cited-inline in the article and is interesting. The image used in the hook is freely licensed, used in the article, and easily discernible at 100px. A QPQ has been done by the nominator. Good to go!

- I'm afraid I'm going to be a real stickler here and say that "Her most significant achievement is likely the founding of the University of Oulu in 1959" is not accurately described by the hook. Can you reword it just to say that the founding was one of her most important achievements, or to throw another suggestion out there you could convey that she was a politician and her role in the founding was introducing relevant legislation? — Bilorv (talk) 00:23, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Bilorv: Thanks, I see your point and am totally fine with reworking the hook. Also pinging original reviewer Ashleyyoursmile if they have thoughts on the below. DanCherek (talk) 02:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Came to promote, ALT1 needs to be okayed by a reviewer.
