 * Article new enough, 2184 characters readable prose size, QPQ not needed, no copyvio found. Symbol question.svg How about starting the hook with ... that mathematician Grace Bates? Just because she took differential equations in final year does not necessarily implies her a mathematician. Solomon7968 02:17, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Sure, a bit more context might help the hook.  Please review ALT1, which has been created as you suggest. Andrew Davidson (talk) 12:11, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 Good to go. Solomon7968 19:42, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg I have pulled the hook due to an issue identified at WT:DYK. Gatoclass (talk) 13:16, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg The other source goes into more detail and so I have cited that in support of the hook.  For the exact page, see "she was the only woman enrolled in this course in her senior year". Andrew Davidson (talk) 08:36, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg IMO it would have been better to supply an exact page number (it's actually on page 55) but the hook is now verified. Gatoclass (talk) 12:58, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
