(

• Back to T:TDYK

)

• ... that in 1925, Esther Hill became the first woman to be registered as an architect in Canada?

• ALT1:... that Esther Hill, the first woman to be registered as an architect in Canada, turned to weaving in order to support herself during the Great Depression, and went on to win first prize in weaving at the Canadian National Exhibition in 1942?

• The original hook may be good for March 8th. --PFHLai (talk) 00:12, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

• The ALT1 hook is 239 characters including spaces, and thus ineligible. (Note: not planning to review, but happened to notice the length issue.) BlueMoonset (talk) 03:27, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Ooops... I can't count.... Pls disregard ALT1. --PFHLai (talk) 19:58, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Article is new. Prose is long enough. Hook is interesting. Hook is verified through various books. Original hook is good to go!! Have commented on its talk page for other scope of improvements. Please do those. But the hook is ready. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 10:20, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

• I have uploaded a public domain portrait of Hill to the Commons from the University of Toronto Archives and it might be a good image to include with the hook, unless there's a more appropriate image for the hooks planned for March 8 or whichever day this hook is used.
