Laura Veale edit
- ... that Laura Veale was the first Yorkshire-born woman to be qualified as a doctor?
- Source: Several, including: Harrogate Advertiser: "Hampsthwaite commemorates North Yorkshire’s first female doctor Laura Sobey Veale". Note: This fact has had to be carefully interpreted. It was initially expressed as "the first Yorkshire woman to become a doctor" on the brown plaque, pictured in the article and written by the eminent Harrogate historian Malcolm Neesam. He meant "Yorkshire-born". However it has since been interpreted to mean that she was the first female doctor to practise in Yorkshire, which would be incorrect. Edith Pechey was the first qualified woman doctor to practise in Yorkshire, but she was born in Essex, so to local understanding she was definitely not a "Yorkshire woman" (they are very parochially-minded here). Veale was born in Yorkshire.

- Thank you for the review, Silver seren Re the "even more so than necessary", you'll find that some experienced editors are doing that for a good reason. For example, if you have a "first" in the article, that is going to be automatically questioned and double-checked, and rightly so. Therefore, it is worth finding as many different, independent sources as possible for that "first" and including them all in the article. There is also the fact that some sources may be accessible to some readers (e.g. readers with a subscription, readers in the UK, etc.) and some source may not be accessible to all (e.g. readers outside the UK or without subscription), so it's worth giving them a few alternative sources. A third reason is that various sources give different aspects to the same fact, and some sources also include extra facts which the editor chooses not to include in the article, but which are extremely interesting. In the cast of historical articles, contemporary sources may give the historical standpoint on the matter. Extra sources containing additional facts may also allow other editors to expand the article. Nothing is wasted in this particular article, and there is a reason for everything.

Overall: Good nomination hook, added a comment about it (look above), and no-unlikely violation from Earwig. Good job. — JuanGLP (talk/contribs) 02:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- @JuanGLP, thank you, I prefer your hook so I have struck mine. Also, the reason for "unlikely" from Earwig is because the 22.5% similarity is coming from a quote in the "Career" section, properly enclosed in quotes and attributed via citation.

Overall: Great work on the article, AskeeaeWiki! I do love the hook, with The Weeknd claiming that he could make his lover scream like a horror genre actress? That's wild! Anyway, there's just one issue that I have – there's a Distractify source used in the article, which is considered unreliable; I feel like there could be a more reliable source out there that verifies the fact that he "repeatedly tells his partner that he is willing to marry if she signs a prenuptial agreement, to keep his assets if they separate". Other than that, I have no other concerns, and happy to approve afterward. Thanks! :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 02:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Tails Wx Thank you! I have to thank PSA (GA reviewer) for really helping me tone down some unreliable sources and some of the wordiness. I decided to reuse the USA today source and shortened it. Hopefully that's better. Cheers! 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺, 09:45, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 06:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC).
- Article was created on the same day as nomination. Article meets adequate quality standards and contains enough prose for DYK, my only suggestions are for "the western end of the building" to be potentially reworded just due to similarity in the source, and for the double space in the 'History' section to be fixed. Very interesting hook! I took a look at the source and I noticed that it had mentioned "Moriori, Maori, or Pakeha" (meaning the missionaries failed to convert Indigenous or European New Zealanders) and I'm wondering if this, or the fact that this took place in New Zealand, would be worth mentioning in the hook as well. Picture is relevant to the hook. QPQ done. Great work on the article! Please ping when concerns have been addressed. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
