 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on good sources, no copyio obvious. - I'd prefer a hook about her main career, not the electrical research. - The image is licensed and gives a good idea about the period. - Article: "Sadler retired from show business in 1918 in order to run her husband's (at this point no longer Mr. Lennox, but a Mr. Geddes) electrical research business, subsequent to his death.", - I confess to find it too complicated, and would prefer a simple "after his death". How is this:
 * ALT2: ... that Josie Sadler (pictured) recorded her biggest Broadway hit but it was never released? - I am open to others, such as mentioning the German accent specialty. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:49, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT3: ... that "Dutch" comic Josie Sadler (pictured) recorded her biggest Broadway hit for Victor, but it was never released?

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed to complete review (no mention of size or age) including ALT hooks; previous reviewer hasn't returned in over four weeks, and proposed one of the hooks that needs consideration. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:44, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Previous reviewer is watching but can't approve own hook (and never mentions size and age when they are fine). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:37, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Review Symbol question.svg Wonderful article.  Alt hooks are interesting and supported by in line WP:RS.  Great picture.  QPQ done.  Long enough.  Earwig is clear. No copyright violations or close paraphrasing apparent.
 * All that being said, I am troubled by the timelines of the nomination, and whether it was 5x expanded in the relevant time frame as required. Article was nominated on April 26 and it is claimed it was started on April 20.  Edit history shows a gradual and long term build up prior to that time.  I know that Gerda Arendt says size and age "are fine."  I think the article could go through the GA process and then be eligible for a DYK.
 * However, I think this nomination fails out of the box. Anyone with a principled way to a contrary result would be happily listened to by me.  I am treating this review as a tentative one, and would be happy to change my findings.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 18:57, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * User:7&6=thirteen: The article was moved to mainspace on April 20. I think the "5x expansion" line is erroneous; this is a new article creation. Yoninah (talk) 20:54, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Review Symbol confirmed.svg GTG. New article. History was unclear. Missed it amidst the 119 edits. Thank you.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 20:57, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
