 * Symbol question.svg -, not a full review, however looking at the article, it has a citation needed tag in it, and also contains a bit of extraneous detail.  Best, Mifter (talk) 23:38, 19 December 2018 (UTC)


 * The nominator hasn't edited since the day of the nomination. Are the issues still addressable by another editor, or must this be marked for closure? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:11, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Requesting a new review as neither the nominator nor the reviewer have edited this month. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:39, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg I edited the presentation and added new refs. I've added myself to the co-creation credits. I suggest this new hook:
 * ALT2: ... that Gwen Grant Mellon, who founded a hospital for the poor in Haiti, was buried in a cardboard box? Yoninah (talk) 21:29, 13 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Fine, I'll do the review since Mifter has not edited this month. So the article was new and long enough at the time of the nomination, it is stable, neutral, and free from close paraphrasing (the only hits that were detected were quotes) ALT3 which was proposed above is cited inline; the full article is paywalled so I will accept it in good faith. However, the nominator has not provided a QPQ. Would you be fine if either of us provide a QPQ so that this can proceed? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:18, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, here's a QPQ: Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph Hermann Mohr. I added another cite, from The Guardian, to verify the hook fact. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 01:41, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks, there should be no more problems then. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:11, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
