  • . The source for the hook is not strong but it is repeated in her obit. QPQ done. The article is well written and it includes lots of refs. There is a free to use pic but its not very hooky. Article is neutral. Its new enough and this is good to go. Me and earwig can see no close paraphrasing. (I would suggest that you consider including this picture and the supporting story as I think this is of interest and also including the football story in the college article. but this is not part of the review).The hook is a bit verbose and I have shortened it but do feel free to revert. Well done. Victuallers (talk) 11:48, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
    Thanks for the review! The shortened hook is fine; it'd be nice if there was a way to concisely communicate that the weighing was a recurring event rather than a one-time thing, but not sure how. And image added. (I considered adding the football story to Pomona's main article, but the 60s paragraph in the history section is already quite full and the other stuff is more important, so I think it's better placed in the traditions article and Walton's article.) {{u|Sdkb}}talk 19:54, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
