 * Symbol question.svg Decent bio, on few but good sources, subscription source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - In the original hook, how do you feel about adding Quaker to hospital, because it seems something more we can say about her? Unless you prefer that hook, I'd go for ALT1 because it supplies more about what she did, and a timeframe. How about an infobox? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:08, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've added "Quaker" to the first hook. I'm happy for either hook to run, whichever you and the promoter find most interesting. (I don't usually bother with infoboxes but feel free to add one if you like.) 97198 (talk) 12:05, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you! I prefer ALT1, which was interesting to know, but approve both, leaving the choice to the promoter. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:18, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
