Ellamae Ellis League[edit]
Ellamae Ellis League House in Macon, Georgia
... that Georgia architect Ellamae Ellis League's 1940 home (pictured) is NRHP listed and is one of the earliest known split-level homes built in the state?Source: page 13-14 in Brock 2004 [1]- ALT1:
... that when architect Ellamae Ellis League was named FAIA in 1968 she was the first woman from Georgia so honored and only the eighth woman nationwide?Source: page 12 in Brock 2004 [2]

- Comment: I prefer ALT1 myself, but thought I would try one with a photo since there are several in the article. Unfortunately the photo of her is fair use so it cannot be used for DYK as I understand the rules.

Interesting life with many details, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. Article: please read it once more, looking for sentences starting with "but" or "and", for things in brackets. Try to not have an abbreviation without an explanation or full name the first time, even if linked. - Hooks: I prefer the image to records of honours. How is this:- ALT2: ... that several buildings by Ellamae Ellis League are NRHP listed, including the home she built for herself (pictured)? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: I understand and agree with the abbreviation thing, which I'll go work on now. (Though I should point out that because FAIA is a post-nominal, it is impossible to define it prior to first use given the style for ledes) I'm not sure what exactly you want me to do about "but", "and" and brackets. Do these copyedits need to be completed for the DYK to proceed? As for the hook, how about this:

... that several buildings designed by Georgia architect Ellamae Ellis League are NRHP listed, including the home she built for herself (pictured)?--Krelnik (talk) 17:32, 4 May 2017 (UTC)- Thanks for the idea. If you want to add Georgia, perhaps add the location at the end. I don't know how many readers would immediately connect to a US state, - there's a female name also. You don't want to have them click on Georgia: as a rule of thumb, try to make the link to the subject the first link in the hook, if not the only one. The prose improvements are not a prerequisite for DYK, but would be just nice ;) - Things in brackets should be short, - if longish, consider a footnote. No sentence should begin with "But" or "And". - I understand about the postnominal now, thanks for explaining.
