 * ALT2: that Mary Ingraham  founded the United Service Organizations (USO) and was the first woman awarded the United States Medal for Merit?
 * Comment This is a mere combination of the ORIGINAL HOOK and ALT1. It comes in at 132 characters, still under 200.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 16:32, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Review Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go! New article, timely nominated. Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism.  DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough.  Every paragraph is cited. In passing, I note that I did not have access to the offline sources and WP:AGF.  Earwig's copy violation detector: Mary (Shotwell) Ingraham report gives it a clean bill. Hooks are hooky enough and relate directly to the essence of the article.  They are interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited. QPQ done.  I would link to the USO, as I'm not sure that contemporary readers would know what that is. I think that a picture of the USO badge that is in the article would be a nice addition to the DYK (but likely would implicate a copyright issue when used on the main page).  But it's not required. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 13:42, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I moved the page to Mary Shotwell Ingraham in keeping with the use of full women's names in the many articles we are writing for WP:Women in Red. I adjusted the DYK credits. Yoninah (talk) 22:30, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
