  • A very well-done article, PCN02WPS! Hook is of appropriate length, well-sourced, neutral and interesting. The article itself appears to be thoroughly sourced and neutral, and to meet DYK-relevant policies including avoidance of plagiarism. Just need a QPQ. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:43, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

@PCN02WPS, Ezlev, and Kavyansh.Singh: I'm reopening this nom, as the hook fact appears to be inaccurate. From [1] and [2] it seems that a Euphemia McClintock became president of the Presbyterian College for women in 1902, being described at the time as the "pioneer lady college president in South Carolina". I'm always wary about "firsts" of this nature, because you're sort of relying on the source that says that to have done a full and thorough search for alternatives. I'd suggest removing that fact from the article and thinking of a new hook. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 13:08, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

That is quite disappointing but thanks Amakuru for pointing this out. I have removed the mention of that fact in the lead but kept it in the body (pointing out that it is commonly cited but wrong and naming McClintock), as I think it's important to at least acknowledge that it is a well-known fact about her (even if the fact is incorrect) as it is mentioned in basically every source I was able to find about her. I will add a new couple of alts shortly. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:42, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Ezlev, I have added alts if you'd like to review these; there also might be a picture swap relatively soon (pending a response from AU's library staff) as the current image is a derivative work. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:27, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
ALTs look good, PCN02WPS. I find ALT1a and ALT2 most interesting. Because of the photo issue, I'll wait to approve, since I think it'd be cool if this ran with a portrait – ping me when that gets resolved one way or the other? ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 17:40, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Will do, thank you! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:50, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
@PCN02WPS: If it's not resolved soon, would you be okay with the hook running without an image? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:54, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: I think we may have to do that anyway - it is not looking especially hopeful that I will get a whole lot to work with, and potentially no more than a fair use for this image. I think we're good to proceed without the image here. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:50, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
  • New reviewer needed to check the ALT hooks. Note that the image is not eligible for promotion due to abovementioned issues. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
    • BlueMoonset, I think ezlev approved those hooks on 5 September but didn't put a tick mark because we were waiting to see what the deal would be with the image. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:06, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Pinging Ezlev to verify this and potentially give this a tick. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 01:11, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
      • Yes, verified ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 20:42, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
