Improved to Good Article status by Alanna the Brave (talk). Self-nominated at 00:24, 12 May 2020 (UTC).
Article is long enough (9693 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA 9 May, nominated 12 May), and article is within policy. Article has appeared on front page before, but only recent deaths, so is still eligible for DYK (rule 1d)
Honor and honour are both used in the article, this should be used consistently. Please can you adjust this- and if using honour throughout, please also adjust the hook. I think the spellings in the article are consistent with Oxford spelling, which makes me think it should be honour not honor. Also honour is used three times, honor is used once- Apart from the honour/honor question above, hook is short enough, interesting and well cited
- QPQ done
- Image is freely licenced (AGF on OTRS ticket), used in article, and looks good at low resolution
Alanna the Brave One minor point to be actioned, and then good to go. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Joseph2302: I've fixed the "honour" spelling inconsistency in the hook -- thanks for catching this. Alanna the Brave (talk) 18:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying, good to go now. Joseph2302 (talk)
- Hi, I came by to promote this. You have a good image here but a rather run of the mill hook. Everybody has a planet or a fish named after him. This is a GA; surely you have interesting things to say about what she does or her notability? Yoninah (talk) 19:21, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I'm not sure what type of hook you're looking for (interest is pretty subjective), but would you prefer this alternative hook below? If not, I'll have to keep thinking. Alanna the Brave (talk) 20:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
