- Comment: Realized I'm a bit late (two days); requesting an extension per Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines (would've nominated immediately after expansion but it was still at AFD then, and then I forgot to nominate it right after the AFD closed on Dec. 18).
5x expanded by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:21, 23 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Twink Twining; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @BeanieFan11: Please provide a QPQ or this may be marked for closure as rejected. Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 03:12, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Will make sure to do one today or tomorrow. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for the qpq @BeanieFan11: This article looks good (sourcing, copyvio, neutrality and length) and was expanded 5x within a week-ish of the nom. Both hooks are cited and reasonably interesting imo, but I think ALT0 is the best. BuySomeApples (talk) 10:24, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

No M.D. from Swarthmore.
editSwarthmore College has never had a medical school! It is solely a liberal arts college. If anyone had done adequate research, instead of blindly following the b.s. you find on commercial websites like Newspapers.com, (which of course you can't refer to without paying for a subscription), it would have been discovered that after Swarthmore, Twining attended and graduated from Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia.
