Hilda Annetta Walker
- ... that Hilda Annetta Walker painted horses (example pictured)? Source: "Many of the paintings available for viewing on the web are of horses, but most of her work was of Wharfedale".
- Reviewed: Beania magellanica

To the Rescue by Hilda A. Walker
- The image called "The Charge" that I originally paired with ALT0 is no longer free, so here is a free image called "To the Rescue" to replace it. Thank you . Storye book (talk) 19:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
Everything looks good as far as DYK eligibility, including the image. However, a more "hooky" hook would be better if possible; would you mind adding something in there to make it more interesting? ~EdGl talk 23:07, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

- I'm happy with your intentions for ALT2, but because you missed out the horse-painting it now doesn't make sense. If you don't want the horses mentioned, you could maybe say "example of her work pictured", or similar?. Thank you. Storye book (talk) 21:46, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
