16px I tried pinging Mujinga and posting on their talk page, but they are not responding despite asking me to ping them when I fixed the issues. A new reviewer is needed and I don't think this should count as Mujinga's QPQ for their nomination. SL93 (talk) 20:40, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

lol hold your horses, as you suggested your pings didn't go through and now i'm back online tonight i saw your message. this is a perfectly valid QPQ actually because i've reviewed all elements, whether it passes is up to both of us and the rest of the community.

Sorry. I assumed wrong because I just had this happen in a DYK a few days ago. SL93 (talk) 21:21, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

no worries! Mujinga (talk) 21:31, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

• thanks for addressing all my concerns, I think ALT1 is better but still needs a bit of finessing because it now begs the question first person where? (And people aren't generally that keen on "first person to" DYKs..). I think a combination of ALT0 and ALT1 mentioning the uni again would probably address that, maybe saying she was the originator or something, what do you think?

  • I will suggest a new hook when I get home from work tonight. 21:37, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Great, if not later I should be online again tomoro! Mujinga (talk) 21:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that educator Mildred Hope Fisher Wood was the originator of learning disability courses, which she taught to prospective teachers at the University of Northern Iowa? SL93 (talk) 03:09, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

16px Nice one SL93 for AlT2. I can now approve that one, which is cited to https://www.newspapers.com/clip/55565956/the-courier on the actual sentence in the article. Mujinga (talk) 10:57, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
