List of citations from a version of Draft:Linda Finch, but now just Linda Finch. This workpage summarizes actions performed in Talk:Linda Finch and then my work to review the remaining sources. It's about half-in-half, but the heavy hitters were taken care of in Third Pass. I did copyediting after finishing this work, so some of the sentences have just been copyedited.

 * 18) Used suggested language for a multiple-source sentence "With her flight navigator Frederick Noonan relying on the stars at night for navigation,[2][11] Earhart was expected to land at the tiny Howland Island in the South Pacific on June 2, 1937. When they did not arrive, they were thought to have become lost.[1][2][12][a]"
 * 19) Source: "The pair were attempting to fly around the world when they lost their bearings during the most challenging leg of the global journey: Lae, New Guinea, to Howland Island, a tiny island 2,227 nautical miles away, in the center of the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Itasca was in sporadic radio contact with Earhart as she approached Howland Island and received messages that she was lost and running low on fuel. Soon after, she probably tried to ditch the Lockheed in the ocean. No trace of Earhart or Noonan was ever found... The U.S. Department of Commerce had a weather observation station and a landing strip on the island, and the staff was ready with fuel and supplies. Several U.S. ships, including the Coast Guard cutter Itasca, were deployed to aid Earhart and Noonan in this difficult leg of their journey. As the Lockheed approached Howland Island, Earhart radioed the Itasca and explained that she was low on fuel. However, after several hours of frustrating attempts, two-way communication was only briefly established, and the Itasca was unable to pinpoint the Lockheed’s location or offer navigational information. Earhart circled the Itasca‘s position but was unable to sight the ship, which was sending out miles of black smoke.
 * 20) Article:"The flight from Lae to Howland Island was 2,227 nautical miles. It was the most challenging flight in Earhart's flight around the world. The night that they were expected, there had been some patchy radio contact between the plane and Itasca, a U.S. Coast Guard cutter. The last that the cutter heard, the Electra 10 was running low on fuel and they were lost. They were lost without a trace.[11]"
 * 21) Reworded: "Anticipating the difficult 2,227 mile flight to Howland Island from Papau New Guinea, the Coast Guard cutter Itasca and other U.S. ships monitored Earhart's radio calls. Earhart communicated that she was low on fuel and lost. She unknowingly flew around the Itasca several times, but was unable to see the long trails of black smoke that the cutter had sent. The Electra 10 was lost without a trace."

The violations included insufficient nursing staff, residents with severe pressure sores, others severely malnourished, negligent care of sores and malnurished patients, and poor sanitation processes for linens and food management.

I stopped work on this after I was told that the article was "ready to move" into article space. I am going to save a version at User:CaroleHenson\LF audit just in case questions come up later.–CaroleHenson (talk) 16:31, 1 April 2023 (UTC)


 * , I am still going to work my way through the sources. I see you didn't like the Eagles Program info, so I removed that source and all the places where content was cited.


 * I am very happy to take a break if you have more changes that you'd like to make to the article. My goal is to get the article as clean as possible and possibly request a revdel to be safe once I am done. Do you have more that you'd like to do? If so, I will wait. I would rather work with the article after any changes that you'd like to make.


 * We are truly in no hurry to get to that point now, though.–CaroleHenson (talk) 20:06, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
