~~... that Emily Temple-Wood (pictured) said she "literally sat in the hallway in the dorm until 2am writing [her] first women in science article"?~~

ALT1 ~~... that Emily Temple-Wood, an advocate of coverage of women in science on Wikipedia, serves on the Boards of Directors of two non-profit organizations while still attending college?~~ Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 03:45, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

AfD closed as no consensus. SST flyer 06:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral and I did not detect any copyright issues. The original hook needs to mention Wikipedia to be meaningful, and I do not think much of ALT1, the directorships concerned being pretty non-notable. How about
ALT2 ~~... that Emily Temple-Wood advocates for greater coverage of women scientists on Wikipedia?~~ Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:15, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't agree that The original hook needs to mention Wikipedia to be meaningful. In fact I think any hook that mentions Wikipedia would look like navel-gazing and should be avoided. The hook needs to be interesting to the reader for DYK. SST flyer 13:24, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

It sounds as if she might have just been finishing her homework. Another input needed here. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:07, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

I was going to make a similar comment. Anyone who hasn't had the experience of staying up to 2am hasn't written many journal articles and/or has failed to turn in a lot of homework assignments. E Eng 22:47, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

It's not navel-gazing to mention Wikipedia in an article about a person whose notability is centered on her work with Wikipedia. In fact, to fail to mention Wikipedia would be disingenuous. So how about:

ALT3 ~~...that Emily Temple-Wood has pledged to create a Wikipedia article about a woman scientist for every harassing email she receives?~~

—David Eppstein (talk) 23:58, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Way better, IMO. E Eng 01:10, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

We should be careful using the language of "pledged". It's in the article because HuffPost used "vowed", but it is doubtful there is such a pledge - the original Wikimedia post just says that she does it. I have a feeling HuffPost just made the rest up. St Anselm (talk) 02:36, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

That is,

ALT4 ~~... that Emily Temple-Wood creates a Wikipedia article about a woman scientist for every harassing email she receives?~~

St Anselm (talk) 02:38, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

ALT4 is very good, but I would change "creates" to "says she will create", since the source says "vows to create" and we don't know if she actually did it yet:
ALT5: ... that Emily Temple-Wood (pictured) says she will create a Wikipedia article about a woman scientist for every harassing email she receives?
~~ALT5 hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Cwmhiraeth. ALT5 good to go.~~ Yoninah (talk) 17:20, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Did you just verify your own hook? On what basis do you say that? It seems to be based on the unreliable HuffPost. Other reports don't have her saying this, merely doing it. St Anselm (talk) 19:05, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

The other reports are in French and Spanish, which I cannot verify. No problem, I've struck my approval tick and leave it to another editor to deal with. Yoninah (talk) 19:13, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Comment It's not just HuffPo that says "vowed", it's also the Washington Post. To wit: "for every one of those messages she receives, she has vowed to write a new Wikipedia biography of a prominent female scientist."[1] Everymorning (talk) 21:08, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Added the Washington Post ref to the line that contains the hook. Note that the 7sur7 article is most likely just a rewrite of the HuffPo article. Good to go: . Drmies (talk) 18:26, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
