Lesbian Tide

 * ... that the Lesbian Tide has been called the United States' first national lesbian newspaper?
 * Reviewed: Gregarious slender salamander
 * Comment: I included "has been cited as" to be careful, since The Ladder is commonly said to be the first national lesbian magazine.

 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough. No close paraphrasing or cpyvios found when comparing with sources. QPQ done. The hook is good and cited, but the first sentence of the article calls it a magazine. I'm not sure about it being "the" Lesbian Tide either. And I prefer "called" to cited". How about a slightly revised hook? Edwardx (talk) 17:25, 6 May 2014 (UTC)


 * ALT1 ... that Lesbian Tide has been called the United States' first national lesbian publication?
 * It is almost universally referred to as "the" Lesbian Tide in sources, so I think that's right. It seems to be a 50/50 split on whether it's referred to as a magazine or newspaper, so I agree that "publication" is a safer and more accurate word to use - but the problem is that The Ladder pre-dates the Tide as a magazine so it wouldn't be correct to say it was the first national lesbian publication. What if we keep "newspaper" in the hook" and I amend the article to call it a newspaper instead of a magazine? Thanks. 97198 (talk) 12:21, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All good points, and I should have paid more attention to your "comment" above. Your solution seems reasonable, so on the assumption that you'll make that small tweak to the article, I'm happy to agree to your original hook, and I'm striking ALT1.
