General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: not the world's most interesting hook, but I clicked on it so I can't complain. Just needs a qpq and this'll be good to go. @Drmies: Keilana (talk) 15:31, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

  • Keilana, it was the best I could come up with. That such a young woman contributes in polemic over the classics is interesting (to me), but I don't know how to put that succinct enough. Also of interest is language--that she was taught to write in Dutch, basically, but I don't have enough sourcing to make those points stick, if there are points at all. But plz, feel free to make something else out of it! Please see above that I added a review. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 22:01, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
    • @Drmies: That's totally fair, I certainly thought it was interesting enough to click! This is good to go. Keilana (talk) 19:52, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
