Jenny Morton
[edit]- ... that Jenny Morton, the first New Zealand woman to be made a professor at Cambridge University, discovered that sheep can recognise human faces?

Hi Gaia Octavia Agrippa, review follows: Article created 8 November; length is sufficient; Article is fully cited to reliable sources; No close paraphrasing noted (note that the automated tool throws up lots of false positives from quotations, job titles and the selected works}; Hook is interesting; Hook is cited in article and citations confirm facts; QPQ in progress, but well on the way; Looks good to go to me - Dumelow (talk) 22:58, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

I jut came by this while passing it to prep area, the hooks seems too long and redundant. Here is a tweaked one: @Gaia Octavia Agrippa: Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 14:56, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

- ALT1 ... that Jenny Morton discovered that sheep can recognise human faces, and also the first New Zealand woman professor at Cambridge University?
- ALT0 is 143 characters long and the limit is 200: your suggestion is 139 characters long. ALT1 doesn't make grammatical sense; amusingly it reads as if she discovered the first professor. What in ALT0 is redundant, as you've in effect just re-ordered it to create ALT1? Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 15:37, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
- I prefer the original to the proposed ALT1. I don't find the original over long but your only real option to reduce the length would be to shorten it to only mention the sheep discovery or that she was the first NZ woman professor - Dumelow (talk) 19:43, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
- Lately most of the women nominated for DYK did something "first". I vote for a hooky hook:
- ALT0a: ... that Jenny Morton discovered that sheep can recognise human faces? That's guaranteed for the "quirky" slot. Yoninah (talk) 00:21, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
- If a short, hooky hook is needed that's fine. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 00:29, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
