  • New enough, long wnough, within policy, no copy-vio detected, hooks are interesting and cited, image is good for this, and QPQ's done. Good to go. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 03:41, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
  • @Doug Coldwell and Captain Assassin!: The source seems to say she was the first US Army nurse killed during WWII, while the main hook says she was the first nurse killed in the entire war. I believe the main hook needs to be modified or stricken. -Zanhe (talk) 04:16, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
@Captain Assassin!:@Jolly Janner: struck original hook and modified ALT1 hook.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:48, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
Restoring tick. --Captain Assassin! «TCG» 14:33, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
@Doug Coldwell: I think this would be an excellent candidate for International Women's Day (8 March). I can move it to the special holding area if you agree. Jolly Ω Janner 08:28, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
@Jolly Janner: Great! I agree. Thank you for moving to special holding area.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:34, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
