Dorothy Fothergill in 1963

• ... that when women's champion Dotty Fothergill (pictured) sued in 1970 for being denied the right to complete in men's tournaments, the Professional Bowlers Association countersued for "disastrous ridicule"? Source: this and this
  • ALT1:...

• Reviewed: 1992 Football League Third Division play-off Final

• Cbl62 Generally the article looks good. However, a couple of issues: Please can you add a source for her date of birth? I don't see it explicitly mentioned in any of the online sources. And there isn't a source for the 1969 BPAA All-Star championship win either- I've added a citation needed tag. Once these are fixed, please ping me and I'll do a complete review.

@Joseph2302: Fixed. Cbl62 (talk) 17:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

• Full review:
• Y Article is long enough (4514 characters), new enough (created 2 February, nominated 9 February), and article is within policy. Article is well sourced now that above issues have been fixed. Copyvio tool picks up a 16.8% chance of copyright violation, but this is a false positive, as all of the "same content" are just names of organisations, or a couple of words the same
• Y Hook is short enough, interesting, in the article, and well cited
• Y QPQ done
• Y Image is freely licenced (public domain in the US, which is the image's country of origin), used in the article, and looks good at low resolution
• Overall, this nomination now passes. Congratulations, a really interesting article. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:22, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
