  • Symbol question.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues (although the article was a little close to the Facebook page in places). The first hook is not very interesting, and I think ALT1 (and the article) needs quotation marks for the hot commodities statement. Could we not have a hook about the joyless Victory cake? It sounds delicious! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:31, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Cwmhiraeth: ALT2: ...that someone told Kate Brew Vaughn that her eggless, sugarless, and butterless World War I Victory Cake was "joyless", but then ate three pieces? Source: Byrn, Anne (2016). American Cake: From Colonial Gingerbread to Classic Layer, the Stories and Recipes Behind More Than 125 of Our Best-Loved Cakes. Rodale. p. 138 ([3] "Cooking experts such as Kate Brew Vaughn lectured and showed Americans how to make Victory cakes-eggless, sugarless and butterless confections. Someone once called them "joyless," Vaughn told her crowd in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in April 1918, but then he ate three pieces") Elisa.rolle (talk) 13:02, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Footnote 2 (a Facebook page for someone who's not even alive) and 3 (genealogy.com) are not reliable sources and should be removed. I added a clarification-needed tag to the last paragraph under Career; since Wikipedia is timeless, we don't say "currently", but be specific about the year.
