Comment: "and since" in ALT2 is a biggie, but the cite, so does it stay or do the two words go?

QPQ aside, the article passes. I like ALT1, but if you want to shorten it, I suggest ... that French Resistance agent Jeannette Guyot (pictured) was one of only two women to be awarded America's second highest military honour? Sceptre (talk) 22:35, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Started the QPQ. Your verson of ALT1 is better. Crossing the one above out. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 06:53, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
My QPQ passed into the staging area... also, Sceptre, your DYK hook is better but doesn't it suggest that she is one of only two women EVER... which is not confirmed is it... then again the article does clarify it. Your review :D.... what do you say? DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 14:46, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

My reading of the source is that the "ever" is pretty explicit. Sceptre (talk) 15:08, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Then I guess I don't have to fix anything else for this DYK. Can you pass it? DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 15:51, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Of course. :).
