 * ... that Elizabeth Potts from Manchester, England was the first and last woman legally executed in Nevada?
 * Reviewed: Daresbury (house)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Long enough, new enough, adequately sourced, and the interesting hook is supported by the reference cited in the lead. However, some of the article's wording seems too similar to the source, starting with the hook fact: "Elizabeth was the first and last woman legally executed in Nevada" in the article, versus "Elizabeth Potts was the first and last woman legally executed in Nevada" in the source. Additional writing attention is needed before this goes to the main page. --Orlady (talk) 04:59, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I have ce it, and hopefully addressed the issues; here's ALT1: ... that Elizabeth Potts from Manchester, England was the first woman hanged in Nevada, and the last woman legally executed in this U.S. state? --Rosiestep (talk) 18:58, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg I no longer have concerns about closeness to the sources, but I have done a lot of work on the article (and may still do more) and I no longer consider myself qualified to review it. However, I do wonder about the inclusion of details in the hook. I suggest that the hook should simply say this:
 * ALT2: ... that Elizabeth Potts was the only woman ever legally executed in Nevada? --Orlady (talk) 21:31, 3 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Looks good in all respects. I much prefer ALT2. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:27, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
