Bertha Boronda
- ... that in 1907 Bertha Boronda was convicted of mayhem of her husband, but newspaper reports were restrained and genteel describing the crime? Source:Orlando Sentinel Quote: "'She drew a razor and cut her husband.' Then she walked to her nephew’s room and simply stated, 'Frank cut himself.'" :Source: Bertha’s Razor
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

New enough, long enough, QPQ done, no copyvio issues. It needed quite a bit of copy editing, have done most of that, but would be good if you could just look it over. I'm confused why 'Catherine Kieu Becker' is giving as an alternate name in the infobox, when that seems to be a completely different person (Catherine Kieu). I'm not sure the hook is very catchy, could you propose an alternative? How about for example ALT1. Achaea (talk) 21:52, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- ALT1:... that Bertha Boronda tried to flee on a bicycle after committing mayhem against her husband?
- The suggested alternate is Okay with me. The 'catchiness' of hooks is a matter of personal taste. de gustibus non est disputandum. Catherine Kieu and Lorena Bobbitt are different persons with a similar Modus operandi. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 22:09, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
- @7&6=thirteen:
If they are a different person, they should not be listed in the alternative names in the infobox, which I believe is reserved for aliases. I have removed the name now, in any case it is listed in the 'see also' section. Seems good to go now. Achaea (talk) 08:18, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
