I don't think ALT0 needs "removing an entire ovary" to be interesting, so I suggest removing that part but it's okay either way. To the promoting user: File:Smillie portrait.jpg is a free acceptable picture that imho would really be a good idea to have in the DYK set but I know that pictures are always complicated with only one slot per day.

- SoWhy thanks for the response and review! For you or the promoting reviewer - does ALT0 or ALT1 sound better? Now that I look over it again, ALT1 just sounds hook-ier to me. originalmesshow u doin that busta rhyme? 22:25, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, ALT1 is snappier. I'm moving this to Women's History Month in March. Yoninah (talk) 20:36, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
