- ... that poet Peggy Pond Church became a strong pacifist and Society of Friends member after the Manhattan Project used her home as a place to build nuclear weapons?
- Source: "Late in 1942 it was announced that the school would be closed in order that the Manhattan Project could be carried out there...What angered her chiefly was the research on the atomic bomb and its testing and use...Church became a pacifist, and in 1948 she and her husband joined the Society of Friends." - Southwestern Women Writers and the Vision of Goodness

Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.SilverserenC 20:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC).
New article that was moved to mainspace on 7 May 2024 is 7,830 characters and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected (AGF sources which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 161 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. AGF book for ref 1 (verifying the hook) which has no preview available but can still be searched (all three quotes check out). QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 04:04, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Three Mile Lake
editI'm confused. The article says she moved back to Michigan, and then spent time at Three Mile Lake. There is a Three Mile Lake in southern Michgan, not close to Detroit, but far nearer than the lake in Nova Scotia that is linked from this article. Which is it? Nova Scotia seems unlikely to me. 75.169.20.235 (talk) 00:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- True. I'm not sure what specific lake it's referring to. Per the source,
The Ponds returned to Detroit, where two other children were born. Peggy first learned to appreciate nature at the family house on Three Mile Lake.
- So maybe there is some lake in or near Detroit with that name? Either that or the family house was in Nova Scotia, but that seems unlikely, I agree. Maybe the family home was in Michigan? SilverserenC 01:11, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- The Three Mile Lake in Michigan is closer to Chicago than it is to Detroit. This is also unlikely. Rmhermen (talk) 22:20, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
