Overall: Easy pass, no issues to report: the article is new and long enough, it is very well sourced, sources checked using machine translation. Article info match those of the cited sources. No duplicate links, no copyvio or close paraphrasing. Image is free and clear. QPQ done. Please consider archiving the cited websites and adding the archive url to the citation templates. The following are just suggestions: I would add the birth name under Early life and education (Margit Eskman, née Margit Marjatta Margareetta Eskman, was...). Adding it to the infobox can also positively impact search engine query results. There are some interesting information that could make the article even more informative like mentioning her diplomas, the fact that she was the second woman in history to reach a leadership position in her party, and her involvement in women's movements? (from here. A small section about her personal life (who she was married to) from the same source maybe? _Elias Z. (talkallam) 09:48, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review! I added archive links and information about her marriage, SDP leadership, and involvement with the SDP women's movement as suggested. Eskman wasn't her birth surname, but rather her married one, so I didn't put it in the infobox or in her birth details. The Finnish Wikipedia article lists her original surname as "Helin" but I had a difficult time finding a source that I could access to verify that, so I haven't included it for now. Diploma was already mentioned in "Early life and education", unless I'm missing something. Anyways, appreciate all of the recommendations! DanCherek (talk) 13:59, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
