Fail on date. This DYK has existed in mostly unchanged size since late May, thus failing the criteria of "new of 5x expanded" within the last week. Other notes: wrong tense (dead person was, not is), and does not adhere to WP:LEAD. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:44, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Just moved to main space on the 25th. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I moved this article from my sandbox where I had been preparing it, to the main article space on the 25th (here's the diff [1]). Surely the article is not ineligible for DYK because it took more than five days to write it in a sandbox? With regard to the point about "was" not "is" in the lead - the only time I use present tense in the lead is to say that she "is considered a major voice in the Australian suffrage movement" - which is true, in the same way that it is true to say that "Napoleon IS considered a great military commander". The fact that these people are dead does not discount current historical assessments of them. Whiteghost.ink (talk) 14:54, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
All points seem to be addressed. Author has requested that this be on the front page on 10th July to celebrate the great Ada Lovelace. Gets my vote Victuallers (talk) 15:55, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
