Kate McComb edit

  • ... that Kate McComb did not decide to become a professional stage actress until she was 52 years old?

Created by SL93 (talk) and Teblick (talk). Nominated by SL93 (talk) at 03:05, 24 October 2018 (UTC).

  • New enough (October 23), long enough (2,224 characters), no neutrality concerns, decently cited (see below), no major concerns with copyvio (almost entirely play titles and such, or insignificant phrases) and while the article does follow the Illustrated Press article fairly closely in terms of content, a comparison side by side doesn't veer into close paraphrasing I think. Hook is a snappy length and the hook fact is mentioned in the ref listed here (the Illustrated Press article again). However, per DYK rules, the sentence in the article with the hook fact should have a citation to the source immediately after the period, which is not presently the case. I thought the info in the hook might be sourced to ref 4, which was at the end of the following sentence, but that didn't end up being the case—it's in ref 2, not placed inline until the end of the paragraph. Hook is just fine, neutrality-wise. QPQ done, no image to worry about. Looks just about ready to go except that ref 2 needs to be placed inline after the sentence "It was then at age 52 that she decided to have a professional career as a stage actress." @SL93: Best, —Collint c 16:45, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
