Comment: I would like this to run on January 7 (I know this is cutting it close at this point but as usual I'd rather nominate the article when I've gotten it to the level I wanted. Plus holidays).

Sad interesting topic, well written on substantial sources, no copyvio obvious, "your" image looks licensed and is a good illustration. I like the ALT better, but would prefer a way to link showing it's not about her but her murder. Watching. It might be necessary to mention her name without link to get "pictured" right, in order to do that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:23, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Reworded to make that clear. Daniel Case (talk) 18:15, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Better word an ALT. For a better flow, I have to read twice because the first time I connect today and ultimately ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:20, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
