Seems appropriate to me and worth promoting. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 06:28, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
@TheSandDoctor: you should provide a review that explicitly confirms that the five main DYK criteria have been met. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 13:40, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
- The article is new, long enough, the hook is mentioned within the article and cited, the article itself is within policy, and the editor has indeed completed the QPQ criteria. @Yoninah: --TheSandDoctor (talk) 16:37, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
I came by to promote this, but found the article needed a lot of copyediting and formatting (which I did). However, I do not think it meets Rule D7. The article is very sketchy on the life of the subject; instead, most of it is about her sister and Alice James. I also added a "citation needed" tag. Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
- , I improved the article as requested. Elisa.rolle
- OK, thanks. I did more copyediting to bring it up to Wikipedia standards; please review what I did. There are also hidden notes in the text (they begin with the symbol <!-- and are asking for specific page numbers in the Strouse and James & James works, and also asking you to properly format the citation "Alice James, 1879" to a book. Please note that your computer automatically sends you to Google Books in Italian; you need to change the ".it" to ".com", as I did for you here. The Mount Auburn Cemetery URL is only opening to the website's home page. When I search on "Katharine Loring", nothing comes up. Yoninah (talk) 18:18, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
I worked all the <!-- and the .it and put the reference to one of the books where the letter from Alice is reported (the first appearing in the list but many are citing it). For the http://mountauburn.org/ website, you have to click on Explore/Burial Search. It opens a pop up (so no different link) and if you put "last: Loring died: 1943" in the search you find it.

- Thanks, I found it in the Burial Search under "Katharine Loring". I forgot to mention that I placed a "how?" tag next to the claim that they "fought tuberculosis". Yoninah (talk) 19:16, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Louise founded the Anti-Tuberculosis Society in Beverly (added with reference) Elisa.rolle
- @Elisa.rolle: Thank you for your diligent work to bring this article up to Wikipedia and DYK standards. Everything looks good now. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Images are all public domain. Good to go.
