:::The ODNB states her ''parents'' were "of Welsh descent" and also later states of her publications: "Many relate to Wales, where her credentials as historian were backed up by family connections, a reading knowledge of Welsh, and cordial relationships with archivists throughout the principality" so I think the claim for her being herself Welsh is disputed amongst reliable sources. Can another hook be found? The ODNB has some detail that isn't in the article -- I could e-mail it to you if you can't access it. ETA: A closer reading of the ODNB entry suggests the chair is also incorrect -- she became a reader in 1919 and a professor in 1925, both of which would, as far as I know, be lesser positions than a chair.

Caroline Skeel
... that Caroline Skeel was one of the first Welsh women to hold a chair at a university?
- ALT1:ALTs are welcome.
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Dorothy M. Healy
- Comment: Women's History Month & Awaken the Dragon
Created by Dr. Blofeld (talk) and Rosiestep (talk). Nominated by Rosiestep (talk) at 03:41, 8 March 2016 (UTC).
Long enough, nominated in timeframe, adequately referenced to reliable sources, though it depends mainly on a single reference, and appears neutral. Earwig noted no problems with paraphrasing. The hook is interesting, concise and supported by the reference, but the article needs to elaborate on why a person born in London and who seems to have lived her entire life in England should be considered Welsh on the basis of her parents' place of birth. QPQ completed. Espresso Addict (talk) 05:12, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- The Welsh Dictionary of Biography run by the National Library considers her to be Welsh. We call her British. The sources states the hook. We could change it to "of Welsh descent" but that isn't what the source says.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:10, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- The ODNB states her parents were "of Welsh descent" and also later states of her publications: "Many relate to Wales, where her credentials as historian were backed up by family connections, a reading knowledge of Welsh, and cordial relationships with archivists throughout the principality" so I think the claim for her being herself Welsh is disputed amongst reliable sources. Can another hook be found? The ODNB has some detail that isn't in the article -- I could e-mail it to you if you can't access it. ETA: A closer reading of the ODNB entry suggests the chair is also incorrect -- she became a reader in 1919 and a professor in 1925, both of which would, as far as I know, be lesser positions than a chair. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:26, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

User:Espresso Addict, just change whatever you think is needed. Template:U's hook suggestion is fine.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:51, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Template:Ping please email me the ODNB entry and I will fix the article per your suggestions. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 21:17, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

It appears that Espresso Addict removed the line that was bothering him on March 16. I have gone ahead and added more sources and reformatted the article. A reviewer is needed for ALT1 or, alternately:

ALT3 is fine, and verified. Not the most exciting hook, but it's time to send this on. Drmies (talk) 18:14, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
