Template:Did you know nominations/Sophia Taylor

Sophia Taylor

 * ... that Sophia Taylor sold part of her estate on which Mount Albert Grammar School in Auckland was then established?
 * Reviewed: Bit of a strange one. I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Phase retrieval, which after a bit of mucking around was almost DYK ready when the nominator withdrew it. The nomination template was then deleted (don't ask me why).
 * Comment: Recent expansion.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Solid 5x expansion. Hook source and date check out. Image is public domain. Ready to go. -SusanLesch (talk) 16:41, 5 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Would this be a good DYK for use on March 8th, International Women's Day? --PFHLai (talk) 10:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it would. I didn't know that there's a specific day, but we (Wikiproject New Zealand) are this month expanding a few articles of New Zealand suffragists. It's 8 March here already, so somebody better promote this swiftly :)  Schwede 66  19:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg I'm concerned that some of the phrasings in this article may be too close to those of the sources, particularly this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I have reworded some of the phrasings. Please let me know if you think others are too closely paraphrasing.- gadfium 04:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Quite a bit of rewording has been done by Orlady now. Would you like to be added as a contributor (if so, I'd be happy to add you to the credit list), or would you like to appear as a reviewer?  Schwede 66  20:59, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

That's a terrible hook. It's utterly uninteresting. How about ALT1: Kaldari (talk) 21:06, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * ... Symbol confirmed.svg that Sophia Taylor (pictured) fought for women's suffrage but opposed women standing for Parliament?


 * ALT1 is fine by me. I have added two wikilinks to it.  Schwede 66  22:25, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg As noted above, I spent some time with this article, mainly focused on edits to further reduce a perception of close paraphrasing. I think the concerns should be resolved -- but I hope that Gadfium and Schwede66 will forgive me (and correct my errors) if I distorted any content. I started out to re-review the article, and I'll finish that task. The ALT1 hook is a good one; I agree with Kaldari that the original hook suggestion is less interesting. --Orlady (talk) 03:18, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
