 * Symbol confirmed.svg the article is long enough, enough sourced (3 major reliable sources, not many but enough). for my personal taste I would separate the article in more section, but that is related to the article not the hook. no copyvio (2.0%). Article is new (yesterday) and QPQ has been provided. The hook is VERY short... maybe add the fact she died at 26? Just a suggestion:
 * ALT1: that Lydia Zvereva (pictured), who died at 26 years old, was the first Russian woman to earn a pilot's license? Elisa.rolle (talk) 20:06, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I think it would be much better to use the image, which is public domain:

 * , dumb question, would your request just imply that I change the hook to "that Lydia Zvereva (pictured)..."?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:09, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I was just checking if you liked the idea of adding the image. Thanks to for taking care of the (pictured) and the approval. Yoninah (talk) 18:40, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Added the parenthetical to both hooks. ALT1 also checks out, and is supported by the appropriate inline citations. Image is PD and checks out. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:53, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry to be pedantic, but since we don't know her date of birth, we don't know her age at death
