Vivian Pinn

 * Symbol question.svg Created March 13 and nominated 6 days later. 11157 char long enough. "As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image is in the public domain." Hook 188 chars and verified in multiple sources. NPOV, though article could be more encyclopedic and less like an essay. But that criteria is outside DYK parameters. In line citations are mostly present. Have marked those that are missing. No close paraphrasing, though quite a few quotations. Well researched. Fascinating woman, thanks for the article! QPQ does not appear to be required nominator has not had 5 DYK noms. SusunW (talk) 23:22, 24 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and added the missing citations. --Rosekelleher (talk) 16:16, 25 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks! It is indeed a collaborative effort! GTG SusunW (talk) 16:46, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I have placed a tag on the page; it really needs a copyedit to bring it up to encyclopedic standards. Lines like "She was keenly aware of house calls by the family physician. After the doctor left, everyone always seemed to feel better, Pinn noticed. The career choice seemed natural to her" belong in a magazine feature, not an encyclopedia.
