 * Symbol confirmed.svg - long enough (barely), inline citations looks good, prose looks ok. Hook looks interesting enough. Good to go.BabbaQ (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg The hook fact is not in the article. Yoninah (talk) 12:21, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * you mentioned this was your first article, this nomination has stalled and needs your attention. valereee (talk) 03:14, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * this editor appears to have written this article for a class, I've found the hook info and added it to the article, it was in the same article as was already cited for that paragraph. valereee (talk) 03:30, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, . Hook ref verified and cited inline. I think it's more important to mention that she did it for 44 years. Here is a revised hook:
 * ALT1: ... that Dorothy Vredenburgh Bush was the first woman to call roll for the Democratic National Convention, doing so for 44 years?
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Reviewer needed to verify ALT1. Pinging . Yoninah (talk) 14:33, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that Dorothy Vredenburgh Bush was the first woman to call roll for the Democratic National Convention, doing so for 12 straight conventions? valereee (talk) 14:42, 25 November 2018‎ (UTC)
 * if you want to suggest ALT2, you'll need a source. Right now this fact is not in the article. Yoninah (talk) 14:43, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Done, source was same article as is already used for that sentence. valereee (talk) 14:46, 25 November 2018 (UTC) ETA: "44 years" isn't actually in the article, we can only arrive at it by subtracting 1944 from 1988, and if she did it in 1944 then that's actually 45 years valereee (talk) 14:51, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Thank you. ALT2 is ready for review. Yoninah (talk) 19:03, 25 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg - Good new hook. Refs for it as well. Ready to go now. Thanks for everyones assistance.BabbaQ (talk) 23:45, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
