 * The article meets the relevant criteria of date and length. Sources are reliable and the hooks are properly sourced. I've had to make a number of changes (including moving the article to a new title) as your treatment of names didn't comply with the manual of style - in particular, article titles should always use a person's proper name, not their title. For that reason, neither of the hooks above will work, so I've stricken them and suggest using the hook below. Prioryman (talk) 06:54, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that the botanist Lady Katherine Sophia Kane was the first woman to be elected to the Botanical Society of Edinburgh?
 * Alt2 looks good, I feel the honorific may be avoided here. I am removing the DYKtick above, as it needs a reviewer. --Tito Dutta (talk) 09:43, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Please don't move nominations if the target article's title has been changed - it confuses and potentially breaks the DYK update bot. I've moved it the nomination back to the original name for this reason. Prioryman (talk) 14:10, 5 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed to cover ALT2, and also to check criteria such as neutrality and close paraphrasing. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:50, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Alt2 is fine. (I think the first hooks would work as the hook can use any name, nickname etc) The article is neutral and no paraphrasing spotted but major sources are offline. Thanks Victuallers (talk) 18:34, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
