  • Review: The article is certainly of appropriate length, was created within the given period of time, and is otherwise compliant with what is needed for a DYK. The part about husband-seeking is cited; the part about being the first female doctor in South Africa needs to be expressed a little more clearly in the prose section. However, the hooks need some work; particularly that they don't say enough about the subject at hand. For example, don't say "the other missionaries", say "other missionaries in Livingstonia" or "other ADJECTIVE missionaries in Livingstonia". On the alt hook, I'd link South Africa and add more detail about the subject, like "Scottish-born". BTW, the article got me wondering...what denomination of missionary are we talking about here? Missionaries are generally sent by Christian or Catholic denominations, yet nothing about Waterston's persuasion is stated in the article. Therefore, I'm going to give this a Symbol possible vote.svg On the right track, but needs a little more work pbp 03:59, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the review and thanks to Template:Yo and Template:Yo for the help. Sorry for large delay I have been mostly offline for three weeks. I have added Free Church - nice addition MMO (the Free church ran both outfits) - and for alt2. I have added ALT3 as per Template:Yo suggested(?) alt but I think it looks a bit odd so I have created ALT4. I'm not sure why the "other missionaries" needs an extra adjective. I have added first women doctor in Southern Africa with a ref. which is a larger claim to a record. Can I suggest that you create an alt? I find the idea of adding "Scottish born" to the hook to be unhooky, but you are free to create an alt and see if others prefer this approach. Do feel free to change the hooks. Thanks again Victuallers (talk) 08:07, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
