 * Symbol question.svg Long enough, new article. hook well cited. Overall, article appears well cited, also. Only questions I have are: should Sister as an honorific should be bolded in the lead (I didn't think so, but wasn't sure for certain); should nun be wikilinked in the hook or should it be reworded to say Dominican nun, somehow? -- JoannaSerah (talk) 21:52, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I wasn't sure about the first question and looked at MOS:HONORIFIC, which says that it shouldn't be included at all. That makes the question of whether to put it in bold much easier to answer, and it's now gone from the lead. I also modified the hook to link to Dominican Order, which Dominican nun redirects to.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Then I think it would be fine for a DYK. Thank you for the article. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 07:01, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
