Zina P. Young Card

Created by Cstickel(byu) (talk). Self-nominated at 19:38, 11 February 2020 (UTC).

  • ALT4: ... that Zina P. Young Card made her own flannel to wallpaper the cabin she lived in while settling Cardston, Alberta, Canada, prompting locals to call it the "Flannel Palace"? Source: "This cabin, now a museum, still stands on Cardston’s Main Street. Zina made heroic efforts in creating a genteel home in such rough conditions. Her daughter, Zina Card Brown, describes her achievement as the interior appeared during the late 1880s. "[...] She had all the walls and ceilings covered with unbleached muslin. This she in turn covered with colored Canton flannel. She sewed the canton flannel herself with the soft silky nap running down. It was kept looking like satin with frequent stroking with a new broom which was kept for this purpose. The hundreds of yards of “Canton” were all stitched on the old treadle sewing machine." Local residents called the cabin “Aunt Zina’s Canton Flannel Palace.” " Four Zinas, Chapter 10 Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 23:17, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and long enough. I like the original hook, ALT2 and ALT4, the other two hooks are less interesting. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. No QPQ is needed here for this new contributor. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:25, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but am having trouble identifying a good hook. ALTs 0 and 2 make her sound like any woman with a political agenda. ALT0 does not have an inline cite, and footnote 2, which uses the term "women's rights", seems to be referring back to the term "women's suffrage" in its previous sentence. ALT4 might be better if the article said more from the source about the "rough" locale the home was located in. Yoninah (talk) 16:00, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I edited ALT0 and added an inline citation in the article pertaining to it. I'll look for more sources for ALT4 and the article. Cstickel(byu) (talk) 21:26, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you, your alt looks better. Please note that I restored the thread and struck the hook that was replaced, so reviewers and prep builders will be able to follow the discussion. We need a review for ALT0a. Pinging original reviewer Cwmhiraeth. Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
