Just for the record, and relating to the Press Coverage notice above: the broadcast of Woman's Hour which included a section about Pratt was 10:00-11:00 on 11 July 2016, and Pigsonthewing saved the first version of their article at 11:05. I'd heard the same broadcast but didn't catch her name so had to google "Nigeria nurse Pratt", which led me to a couple of sources, and I joined in, with a few edit conflicts, by 11:25, but Potw did most of the work. Another couple of editors chipped in later with categories etc. The article grew step by step with extra sources, a fine example of Wikipedia recognising the under-recognised.
Some expansion of this point could be worthwhile; although the article mentions she was from a "prominent Nigerian family", so the state of affairs can be logically worked out, some detail on who/ what she was Chief of would probably be interesting/ otherwise of informational value, rather than just the word put before her name at the top. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.64.125 (talk) 00:57, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
