ALT1: ... that British journalist Kirsty Milne was awarded a Nieman Fellowship in Journalism at Harvard University?

Created by Philip Cross (talk). Nominated by SL93 (talk) at 22:05, 18 July 2013 (UTC).

  • Hook is 200+ characters. Needs to be shortened before continuing. Proudbolsahye (talk) 16:49, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
    • That was why my original hook was short, but the creator edited it. He should have suggested an alt. My original hook was ... that British journalist Kirsty Milne was awarded with a Nieman Fellowship in Journalism at Harvard University, later gaining a Master of Arts degree in intellectual and cultural history?.

      • I was not aware of the precise character limit, and obviously I should not have edited as I did, but SL93 does not work. While there are only around a dozen Nieman Fellows each year from outside the US, completing a Masters degree is not especially notable. Philip Cross (talk) 19:33, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Philip Cross, are you fine with the shortened hook? SL93 (talk) 19:48, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

SL93, go with it! Philip Cross (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Okay looks good. The hook is properly cited. Long enough. New enough. Read a little about her and saw pictures of her on the guardian. Hard working woman. May she rest in peace. Proudbolsahye (talk) 22:42, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
