General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article is new, long enough, is neutral, is cited with high-quality sources, and meets other policy requirements. It's very well written—nice work! (As a side note, the personal life section seemed to be more about her partner than Straus herself. But further aspects of Straus's personal life can always be added as the article develops.) QPQ complete. The hook is interesting and is properly cited, but perhaps it could be trimmed slightly as in ALT1:

ALT1 ... that pioneering Daily News camerawoman Evelyn Straus (pictured) had her clothes custom-made to carry her film and flashbulbs?
Works for me. Thanks for reviewing it, Airborne84. I've noticed that after a WP article is written sources sometimes surface that otherwise weren't available in a pre-article search. (The personal life section is about her partner, as there is not, at this time, evidence to indicate that Moffatt is notable herself, but it would be weird to simply mention her name. I personally hope that more information about them surfaces, as it is pretty clear their relationship wasn't a secret, and yet it was. Note the similarities in the Daily News obit and the one actually used. Her employer left out her early life details as well as her partnership???) Btw, you need to state that the photo is freely distributable. My research is that Vol 95 no 21, 26 May 1962 was copyrighted B973505, but not renewed. SusunW (talk) 05:06, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
  It would be good indeed if more information can be found about them. Thanks for putting this together. Thanks also for helpfully providing the information and links for the picture copyright. This is a new license for me and I had to rummage around a bit, not that I doubted you as you are clearly well-versed here given the credits on your page. After checking it out, it appears to me that the license is proper and the photo is freely distributable. This one is DYK ready, IMO, with ALT1 preferred for the approver.
