Annie Rothwell

• ( Back to T:TDYK
• Article history )

• ... that Annie Rothwell was anointed the "supreme artist" of "Canadian martial poetesses" by a contemporary critic? "Of these later Canadian martial poetesses the supreme artist was Mrs. Annie Rothwell-Christie ...".
  • ALT1:... that a poem by Annie Rothwell was read to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Queen's University? "This service was brought to a close by the reading of the following ode, also composed for the occasion by Mrs. Annie Rothwell ..."
  • ALT2 (with many thanks to Template:Ping for the suggestion): ... that Annie Rothwell was a renowned Canadian war poet? 1 (Edwin Arnold); 2; 3

• Reviewed: I believe I am exempt, as I don't currently have a DYK.
• Comment: The quoted language in alt1 is so comically sexist and archaic that I thought readers would find it funny, but I completely understand if reviewers think it's inappropriate. Alt1 is intended to be more neutral.

• New article of sufficient length, nominated promptly, and the article is within policy. I favor ALT1 - the one mentioning Queen's University. The first two hooks have suitable references. The third would need substantiation which is not itself synthesis within the article. I have struck through ALT2 for this reason alone, and if the issue is fixed, I would also consider that one. I think the editor is exempt from QPQ, but they have made quite a few nominations of late - I didn't find a convenient way to identify whether 5 have been accepted. -- ke4roh (talk) 18:55, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

• Template:Ping thanks for the review! Let's just go with Alt1, since I agree "renowned" is a bit questionable. By my count, I have 1 DYK, 2 in the queue, and 2 more approved, so I'm at 5. If I understand the policy right, if I have 5 or fewer credits I don't need a QPQ? I've done three reviews so far: Milton (electoral district), 1942 Betteshanger miners' strike, and Ann Smith, so feel free to pick one of those if you think it'd be reasonable to require a QPQ here.

• Template:Ping Leave this one as-is without a QPQ, and for subsequent nominations, submit each of those on a specific nomination exactly once. Thanks! -- ke4roh (talk) 19:42, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

• Makes sense—thanks! Struck through the ones listed above to remove any vagueness. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 19:51, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
