    • ALT1:... that Kathleen Byerly (pictured) was one of six sailors who sued the U.S. Navy for the right to serve on ships? Source: "A year later, she and five other female sailors helped clear the path for women to serve on ships and aircraft engaged in combat — assignments previously barred to them under the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of 1948. The sailors, who claimed their careers and potential promotions were negatively impacted by the policy, filed a class-action lawsuit against the secretary of defense and secretary of the Navy in 1977, and U.S. District Judge John Sirica, of Watergate fame, determined the law was unconstitutional in 1978."

5x expanded by Hawkeye7 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:01, 15 September 2020 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: 7.3x expansion confirmed from 12 September; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; hooks are both interesting, mentioned in the article and backed up by the sources; image is PD and good at small scale; a QPQ has been carried out

there's a few similarities in wording to the Navy Times article, are there any ways of rewording the following:

  • "liaison between his headquarters and the nine Pacific training commands"
  • "serve as special assistant to the Chief of Naval Operations for women's policy"
  • "the first female executive officer of the Navy's New York Recruiting District"
  • " Orlando Naval Training Center in Orlando, Florida, which processed 30,000 enlistees a year. It had been severely criticized the year before for the manner in which it handled allegations of rape and sexual harassment"
Though I appreciate with many technical terms and proper names it is sometimes difficult to find alternative ways or wording sentences. Otherwise, no issues here- Dumelow (talk) 07:09, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Not much I can do about the nouns, but I have reworded these phrases. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 10:01, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
