 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. I have added ALT1. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done (Hooray!). Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:41, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you . Wish to clarify 6 chimpanzees, 6 people, both kidneys transplanted. I've made it clear in article and followed the fact with inline citation. transplanted both kidneys from six chimpanzees into six patients...of whom one survived ninety months Whispyhistory (talk) 07:04, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Clarified as multiple sources differ. This 23-year-old school teacher was admitted in November, 1963 with chronic glomerulonephritis and progressive uremia........On January 13,1964 she received a renal heterotransplant. Whispyhistory (talk) 19:17, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Can we shorten this for hookiness?
 * ALT3: ... that after surgeon Keith Reemtsma transplanted chimpanzee kidneys into a school teacher in 1964, she was able to return to work? Yoninah (talk) 23:53, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * That makes the hook a bit vague. While Reemtsma was a male, "Keith" is a bit of a unisex name these days and just by looking at the hook by itself, it's not clear who the "she" is referring to. ALT2 might be better in this case. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:02, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK. Restoring tick for ALT2. Yoninah (talk) 01:07, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
