  • Looking into this--copy edits first. Drmies (talk) 02:55, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough. I remove some words that were too close to the original; I did not see more. Hope you get lots of hits. This is Meghan's first DYK, so no review is required. Drmies (talk) 03:12, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Looks like there's still a few instances of wording too close to the sources: compare for example the first paragraph of Teaching to this source - the order of the sentences is different, but their presentation is very similar. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:04, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you for reviewing & suggesting changes - I have addressed the wording issue and suggest an ALT hook below, as well.
  • ALT 1: ... that WASP pilot Dr. Dora Dougherty Strother was one of two women selected to train and fly the B-29 Superfortress in 1944 in order to prove it was safe for men to fly?--Meghaninmotion (talk) 14:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
