[edit]
  • Reviewed: Fulham Refuge
  • Comment: This was created as a stub at the Women in Classical Studies editathon. A follow-up session expanded it and I have done more so that it qualifies as 5x expansion as well as being reasonably new. Both hooks are verified by her DNB entry.

5x expanded by Andrew Davidson (talk) and Oaktabby (talk). Nominated by Andrew Davidson (talk) at 01:17, 2 March 2017 (UTC).

  • 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, adequately referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. QPQ done. Regarding the hooks, I decided to do this review to add to our store for International Women's Day. The first hook is interesting, but I personally find it more interesting that she lectured to women's groups and a women's prison. Would you be willing to supply a hook along those lines?

  • Thanks for the review and the idea of using this on International Women's Day. I will myself be attending a Wikipedia event at a women's college in Cambridge on that day. Oaktabby added the material about the prison lecture. I don't yet know much about it but will take a look on Sunday at another event, if I can't get to it today. More anon. Andrew D.

- Length, Date (the 5x is right on the button for being "on-time" but I'm not concerned), QPQ, and Earwigs check. Offline/paywall refs accepted AGF. ALT1 approved. Mifter (talk) 02:11, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

  • @Mifter: I'm still in the middle of a review here. I asked the nominator for an alternate hook and am still waiting for it; I might just propose my own soon. This is not yet ready to promote. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 15:23, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
@Yoninah: - my apologies. Looking at the nom it appeared to have stalled and as International Womans day already passed I wanted to ensure at least one hook was approved so the nom didn't end up sitting. Also, just for my reference, what about the article makes it not yet ready to promote? Mifter (talk) 16:51, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
@Mifter: I thought that a hook on her teaching in women's prisons would be hookier. Yoninah (talk) 17:13, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
I looked into the aspect of her lecturing to prisoners but the sources don't say anything much about this. I reckon it's better stick with ALT1 which seems to have been the most significant contribution to her field. I have updated the article's lead to make this clearer and provided a new link of stylistic analysis, which may help. There's lots of other red links to follow up and I'll make a start on Agnata Butler now. It's like the second labour of Hercules! Andrew D. (talk) 19:18, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
OK. Thanks for the article improvements. No close paraphrasing seen. Offline ALT1 hook ref AGF and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:42, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
