... that Ruth Bader Ginsburg (casket pictured) is the second Supreme Court justice to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol, the first being Chief Justice William Howard Taft, who was the 27th U.S. president?

- I'll take this on @Coffeeandcrumbs: once the QPQ is done. But if I may say, I think the hook puts a little more focus on Taft rather than RBG. Just my opinion but I'll review it if that is what you wish nonetheless. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:04, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- I agree. I will think of something else. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 21:32, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- I believe the term is "lie in state". Yoninah (talk) 20:36, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- I think you are right. Corrected. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 21:25, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- I've added a cropped version of the image, if you think it might look better in that reduced size. — Maile (talk) 03:25, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

ALT 1: ... that people from as far away as Louisiana and Vermont came to pay their respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg while she lay in repose at the U.S. Supreme Court Building? --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 04:52, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Personally I'd probably have done something about her being the first woman laying in repose at SCOTUS but it's not my hook so the review is as follows. Date of GA promotion and length OK. Both hooks are cited and inline. However @Coffeeandcrumbs:, we still need a QPQ before this can proceed. No close paraphrasing and both picture licences are fine. Ping me when the QPQ is done and I can pass it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:34, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, good to go then. Rest of the review as above. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:18, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this. I don't understand why we can't honor the nominator's wishes and just leave off the part about Taft. It will certainly make readers click on the link at least to find out who the second justice was.

The nominator chose to provide alts instead of doing that but that is their decision. No need to override the tick, it would have been better to just ask the nominator rather than using the question mark. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:37, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
@Coffeeandcrumbs: there's a citation-needed tag at the end of the section "Health and death". Yoninah (talk) 21:06, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
