Hook is using the word 'wedding' three times. Can we tweak to use it only once? —valereee (talk) 19:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1. ... that pioneering lesbian columnist Deb Price's wedding was the first same-sex wedding announcement in The Washington Post?
ALT2. ... that pioneering lesbian columnist Deb Price's same-sex wedding announcement in The Washington Post was the first in a major national newspaper?
@Valereee:, please have a look at the two variants above and see if they are better. Cheers. Ktin (talk) 03:54, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ktin, the source says one of the first, but that's an easy tweak in ALT2. —valereee (talk) 18:51, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2.1 ... that pioneering lesbian columnist Deb Price's same-sex wedding announcement in The Washington Post was one of the first in a major national newspaper?

@Valereee:, please see if this works? I am good with either of ALT1 and ALT2.1 Ktin (talk) 20:13, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That'll do it! Approve ALT1 and ALT2.1. —valereee (talk) 20:22, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
