- Reviewed: Brown-tail moth
Created by Penny Richards (talk) and KAVEBEAR (talk). Nominated by KAVEBEAR (talk) at 04:03, 13 August 2018 (UTC).
Interesting life, on good sources, accepted AGF what I can't see, no copyvio obvious. - The hook is fine, sweetly short and interesting, but shouldn't we say somehow future queen and future president? - A few questions for the article:
- Do you think all readers know what a missionary is?
- I think most English speaking reader would known. For those who don't know it would be a word like benefactor to look up in the dictionary not to explain in the article.
- Mention which church in the article?
- The source does not specify: https://books.google.com/books?id=P8TTHtvuubwC&pg=PA62.
- Did she first teach the later president, or why is he mentioned first?
- That is just the order used in the source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/22643963/mary_sophia_hyde_rice_1906/
- How do you feel about an infobox?
- Added.
- I normally like a separation of Career and Family, but am not so sure here.
- "She was widowed." - Why not "Her husband died."? Just curious. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:10, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
- Changed.
Thank you, also for expanding. Be prepared for the ERRORS people regarding "taught the president" when he wasn't president yet when she taught the person ;) - One more: the last para begins with a playground, and all "it" still mean a playground, no? Clarify preschool? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:50, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
The lead is too short. Please say something about her notability in the lead. Yoninah (talk) 23:33, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you for expanding the lead. I just noticed on the talk page that about 1400 characters were copied from William Harrison Rice. While this does not affect the minimum 1500-character count for a new article, Wikipedia policy requires the placement of Template:Copied on both pages. Yoninah (talk) 01:00, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
- Done (not by me; I just checked and it was done, on both talk pages). Penny Richards (talk) 21:37, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
- Yes. Done. KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:03, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- I like it but we better ask Yoninah. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:37, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- As I mentioned on Penny Richards' page, the Template:Copied was not adequately filled out. It needs to include the diffs showing what was copied and when. Yoninah (talk) 10:52, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- I like it but we better ask Yoninah. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:37, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- Yes. Done. KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:03, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- Added but I do not think this is not a part of the DYK criteria process. KAVEBEAR (talk) 15:13, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
Template:Ping it certainly is part of the DYK review process, if you don't want a comment at WT:DYK. I edited the template, but it's not working so well for me either. Restoring tick per Gerda Arendt's review. Yoninah (talk) 23:47, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
