Florence Nagle, Norah Wilmot
[edit]( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
... that Florence Nagle was Britain's first official lady racehorse trainer?
Created by Giano (talk), Sagaciousphil (talk), Eric Corbett (talk), Dr. Blofeld (talk), Richerman (talk), I am One of Many (talk) and GoodDay (talk). Nominated by Giano (talk) at 11:35, 16 October 2014 (UTC).

... that Florence Nagle was the first woman licensed as a racehorse trainer in Britain?
This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 hook is supported by a subscription only source and is accepted in good faith. The article is neutral and I saw no evidence of copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:08, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm having second thoughts about this approval. Although Nagle had just won the case at the Court of Appeal, both she and Norah Wilmot received their licenses on the same day, 3rd August 1966, and the article actually states that they "became the first women in Britain to receive licences to train racehorses." So we can't be sure she was the first and the article only states that they were the first. So what about ALT2?
- ALT2
... that Florence Nagle won the right for women to become racehorse trainers in Britain after an Appeal Court ruling in 1966?
- Alt 3 ... that Florence Nagle and Norah Wilmot were the first women licensed as racehorse trainers in Britain, after Nagle won an Appeal Court ruling in 1966?
- I think that would be a great idea Richerman - it might work better if it was a double DYK with Norah's article but that has already been approved and is sitting in a prep area, I think? Maybe I can call on the DYK and template experts (ping, ping Mandarax and Crisco) to help advise us? SagaciousPhil - Chat 13:06, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
- Pulled it. It's here if you want to arrange for a double feature. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:28, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
Both articles have already been approved by Cwmhiraeth (see Template:Did you know nominations/Norah Wilmot), so it looks like all that's needed is verification of ALT3. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:54, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- ALT3 is fine. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:28, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Reopened, hook is incorrect. Discussed at WT:DYK#The first, the last, my everything. Fram (talk) 12:52, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
- Shall we resolve this stalemate by having the slightly weaker ALT4? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:40, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
- ALT4 ... that Florence Nagle and Norah Wilmot were among the first women licensed as racehorse trainers in Britain, after Nagle won an Appeal Court ruling in 1966?
- All reliable references agree Nagle & Wilmot were the first women racehorse trainers in the UK; Nagle's pioneering and funding of her crusade won her credit as the first woman, and Wilmot was certainly the the first the win a race. I really don't care what you use as a hook. This is all rather pedantic. Giano (talk) 21:34, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
