Created by FloridaArmy (talk) and Silver seren (talk). Nominated by Silver seren (talk) at 00:46, 8 December 2021 (UTC).[reply]

An interesting historical figure about whom I enjoyed learning. Thanks for creating this. New enough (created 12/6), long enough, sourced, and neutral. Earwig detects no problems. Hooks are interesting, short enough, and sourced. However, alt1 is inaccurate -- the sources says she visited ER at the "summer" White House in Hyde Park, not the actual White House.

I added in the word summer. Good to go now, Cbl62? Silver seren^C 18:07, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
