Interesting, the little bits we know, on good sources, offline sources AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, but I suggest to crop it - we need to see at least one angel. Hook: I thought we speak of a church, and looking at the article, I still thought the same, not of a woman. To avoid that, you might add an infobox to the article, and say something (such as "the nun and healer") in the hook to make it clearly a person. How about saying 118 angels? I first thought angel roof was an architecture term ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:03, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- No problem, I have added an Infobox and cropped the image. There's no ambiguity in English, as the church would be St Wendreda's. Moonraker (talk) 00:59, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you, the tweaked hook is also approved, and the cropped image. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:58, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
This is ready to be promoted, but it feels like the hook is too vague: how about mentioning that the roof is in her only church? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:35, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

How is that, Narutolovehinata5? The page cited still covers the new hook. Moonraker (talk) 00:42, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- Much better hook: restoring Moonraker's tick. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:42, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
