Overall: I think the hook could do with a few alts, as having read the article, there are some other details that stand out to me as more interesting than the award she won. Feel free to ping me once some ALT hooks are written. Grnrchst (talk) 09:29, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

• Grnrchst ALT1 ... that Gladys Stone Wright, one of the first woman band directors in the United States, was the first one in Oregon?
• ALT2 ... that when Gladys Stone Wright was the first woman band director at an educators' conference, male directors applauded her band's performance? SL93 (talk) 12:49, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

• SL93 I think the hook that she was "one of the first woman band directors in the United States" and that she was "the first one in Oregon" is a bit repetitive, I'd advise picking one. --Grnrchst (talk) 12:52, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

• Grnrchst ALT3 ... that Gladys Stone Wright was the first woman band director in Oregon? SL93 (talk) 12:55, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

• Approved based on AL2 and ALT3. --Grnrchst (talk) 13:04, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

• About to promote this to prep area, but I wanted to note the source used to verify ALT3, which I took from the article. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:29, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
