QPQ: Done. |
Overall: An interesting story. Nice work. Preference for ALT0 or ALT2 (also, can't find that she was the last one in the Historical Quarterly source, is that in the National Biography one?). QPQ currently pending. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:17, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: QPQ done. Yes, that is mentioned in the ANB entry. You could access via WPLibrary. Re preference of hooks, I'd prefer ALT0 as well. ALT2 is intriguing but with hindsight IDK it may portray a derogatory initial picture towards her tragic story until read fully. X (talk) 02:56, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- ALT0 it is then. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
