 * comment only - Interesting woman - its obvious that you have tried to avoid some of the more sensationalist reports.- looking down the sources I see that some are called blogs. Those that are recounting newspaper verbatim seem fine (to me) - although you could include the newspaper details in a ref and use the blog as the url. The John Conway blog seems fine but this is one man making his own posting without any peer review or references - I would avoid this if poss Victuallers (talk) 13:28, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Not a review. New reviewer needed to give and write the full review requested. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:07, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Full review has been provided. Cleared for queue. If you don't like the review provided, write your own, it will take 10 minutes. Don't hold up Fountains of Bryn Mawr's nom for a second month. It is discourteous to the hard work he put into this. LavaBaron (talk) 17:41, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg If you would at least expand "P, H, L, N, Q", this might be an acceptable review, but frankly, no promoting admin would be able to tell what you have checked and what you haven't, so this can not be considered reviewed. Given that you presumably have completed a full review, why don't you avoid being "discourteous to the hard work he put into this" by providing an adequate review that people can understand?

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg I find it impossible to believe that anyone who spent some amount of time promoting articles at DYK would be perplexed to the point of paralysis by the use of abbreviations for Policy, Hook, Length, Newness, and QPQ (the last of which, itself, is an abbreviation!). Since that's impossible to believe, there must be some other issue with the review and it would be better if I defer to another editor to do it. LavaBaron (talk) 08:36, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

The hook as stated does not appear in the article, which refers only to the first woman to be sentenced in the jurisdiction of New York State.184.147.131.85 (talk) 19:50, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Lead does match the hook but the article did fall short of WP:OBVIOUS, re: you would have to read the linked articles to know New York was the first and only electrocution law and electric chair for a seven year period. Fixed. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 21:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

good, as stated LavaBaron (talk) 21:41, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
