- Comment: created for BBC #100womenwiki (but not from their list); Article includes lots of official titles which will appear in auto-detection of similar text. Created by Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk). Self-nominated at 21:14, 8 December 2016 (UTC).
New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. NPOV. Earwig and spot checking found no significant close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. Hook will be interesting to a general audience, and checks out with the inline cites. Article is well-cited throughout. Excellent work as part of the BBC #100womenwiki editathon!
