 * ... that the Anna Crusis Women's Choir, founded in 1975 by Cathy Roma (pictured), is the oldest feminist choir in the United States?

 * Comment: New article for Wiki Loves Pride edit-a-thon, June 26, 2014. I will be on vacation until mid-July, so I won't be able to respond to concerns on this one until I get back -- sorry about that, but unless I nominate this now, I won't be able to (5 day rule). Regarding images, I've filed the OTRS requests and asked that the providers of the images send supporting OTRS emails. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 03:23, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Article was created on 26 June, and on the nomination date sits to just under 3K of prose. There are no obvious copyvios. However, I can't obviously see that the two citations in the lead give mention to Cathy Roma, nor do they unequivocally state that the choir is a "feminist choir" or that it was the first one.

 * Thanks! I'm back from vacation, and have added a better citation for the info in the hook fact. Summers' Queer Encyclopedia is now the first ref, stating "Catherine Roma founded the oldest chorus still in operation, the Anna Crusis Women's Choir, in 1975 in Philadelphia", and the second ref, Quadros' Cambridge Companion to Choral Music, identifies Anna as "the feminist vocal ensemble Anna Crusis..."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks, that source verifies the hook perfectly, and there seems to be a valid OTRS ticket on the picture, so this is good to go! Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:58, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
