Interesting life, detailed GA on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I wonder why you didn't suggest the fine lead image? I'd include "commonscat" in the article. I like the original hook particularly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:12, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I didn't suggest the lead image because I was concerned about its resolution. I couldn't find an original file online, so I scanned the photo from a print copy of her memoir at the Chicago Public Library's special collections section. It was a rather unusual way for me to get the photo, but at least it worked in this case. If you think I should include the photo in this DYK nom, I'd be happy to add it in. I've added the commons cat template, as you suggested. Thanks! Edge3 (talk) 21:36, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- I think that resolution is a minor concern for the stamp size of the Main page. I suggest you include it, - no guarantee it will be taken but I think it shows a great face. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:45, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Ok! I've added it in. I agree that it's a great portrait. It really conveys her maverick, activist personality. Edge3 (talk) 21:54, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, the image is properly licensed and the perfect illustration of the breastfeeding ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:58, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
