 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article was created on 7 April, moved to mainspace on 8 April, and nominated on 9 April. Prose of article around 2400 characters per JavaScript character counter. The same tool states that both hooks are under 200 characters. The image paired with ALT 1 (preferred) is viewable at a smaller size and appropriately licensed. The article is properly referenced with inline citations. Page 168 of The Color Revolution is not available on Google Books preview, but 169 is viewable and the quote starting at "'Through our efforts...'" is properly attributed and cited within the nomination. Material asserted to be on page 168 is accepted AGF. The article as a whole uses inline citations, and was an interesting read. As written, it passed an Earwig copyvio check. I will refile this nomination under 8 April per the rules at Template talk:Did you know and Did you know. QPQ provided. Vycl1994 (talk) 04:20, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Upon further review, I have one more question. The lede mentions that Margaret Hayden Rorke was an actress, but the body of the article does not contain any reliably sourced information on her acting career. As such, I don't think calling her an actress in the lede is warranted. See WP:LEDE for more detail. If reliable sources cover Rorke's acting career in detail, please add the information. If there are no reliable sources on her acting career, I suggest removing "actress" from the lede. Vycl1994 (talk) 05:13, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
