 * Symbol possible vote.svg,  - length, newness, sourcing checks out. Needs Quid Pro Quo, but more importantly, I feel that the hook could be rewritten to be much more eye-catching. Linking to free love is a minimum, but I feel the hook is simply too "straight" as it stands. Perhaps something about her position in Abu Dhabi could be added? Suggestion:


 * ... that after Margaret O'Flynn risked introducing free love in Britain, she continued her line of work in Abu Dhabi?  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  16:35, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * thx..DYK..that in contradiction of state fear of free love, Margaret O'Flynn pioneered family planning services? "risked introducing free love in Britain" doesn't sound correct. She was gynaecologist in Abu Dhabi- I'll try and find out what she exactly did there. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:14, 9 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me. All that seems to be needed is the QPQ. Best,  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  18:11, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * thx again, will review an article. I still prefer proposed hook but all are ok. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Struck Alt 1 as not making sense. Also Alt2. Philafrenzy (talk) 00:46, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Alt3... that despite government fears that contraception would encourage free love, British gynaecologist Margaret O'Flynn obtained funding for free oral contraceptive pills for women?
 * Alt4... that Margaret O'Flynn and her husband John Foley were the first husband-and-wife fellows of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists?


 * Re Alt 3, the article needs the years when she obtained the funding and when it was extended so that it is clear this was before the government made a national decision to broaden access. Do we know that? Did it just apply in Portsmouth or did she have a national role in the changes? Philafrenzy (talk) 01:41, 10 January 2018 (UTC)


 * in that case ALT 4 most accurate and sounds most pleasant. Besides the sources already quoted, I can't find much else.Whispyhistory (talk) 04:27, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm done, please complete if possible, much appreciated, thank you Whispyhistory (talk) 19:56, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Alt4a... that Margaret O'Flynn and her husband John Foley were the first wife-and-husband fellows of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists? (non-sexist Alt) Philafrenzy (talk) 20:13, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

, Alt4 just because "husband-and-wife fellows" sounds funnier.  Mr.choppers &#124;  ✎  00:28, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Any chance of ticking 4a too Mr Choppers? Then the person that assembles the set has some options. It's also quite good? Philafrenzy (talk) 09:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Sure, if you prefer. Either Alt4 version.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  01:06, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
