 * Symbol confirmed.svg Its a GA so it has enough refs and length. The hook is not too long, has some interest, and its reffed to a reliable source. I've checked a few samples and I can only find the same phrasing on mirror sites. There are no images (pity) so no rights issues. Thanks to Dirtlawyer1 - can this be used for Womens History Month in March? Victuallers (talk) 20:53, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your review. I have no objection to using this DYK for Women's History Month in March, but I suggest that Dara Torres, whose article also has a pending DYK nomination (January 27), strikes me as better for that purpose.  For WHM, Torres appeared in more Olympics and won more medals than any other woman swimmer, and she's also the oldest woman to ever win a medal.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:33, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
