5x expanded by Gulbenk (talk). Self-nominated at 22:51, 15 February 2020 (UTC).

  • 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. I added an infobox, did some editing and wikifying, and also began expanding the lead. I think you should add something more about her to the lead so it doesn't sound like an introduction to Margaret Mitchell. I also added "citation needed" tags to text that needs sourcing. The image in the article is freely-licensed, but it does not show up at all at thumbnail size, so I suggest running the hook alone. ALT0 is the best IMO, but it is inaccurate: she received this letter after winning the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Please list new hook suggestions at the bottom of this post. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 00:00, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Nominator has 4 DYK credits, so this is the last freebie before a QPQ is needed. Yoninah (talk) 00:03, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Tag concerns have been addressed (both referenced, and one reworded) and new hook proposed below. Will expand lead. Gulbenk (talk) 04:54, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

  • Thank you. I added some links to the hook. ALT2 verified and cited inline. Rest of review above. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:57, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
