that British-born Marjorie Lynch served as deputy administrator of the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration?Source: Stein, Alan J. (December 7, 2015).

New article (moved from draftspace), long enough. No obvious neutrality issues, all content has inline citations to reliable sources and Earwig returns no violations (false positive due to long organisation names and use of quotes). No QPQ required as this is the creator's fourth DYK. The images used in the article are correctly licensed. Thanks User:Sammielh - your suggested hook is fine, but I would also like to suggest the below alternative hook as I think the opposition to her nomination is quite interesting.

- ALT1: ... that the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed Marjorie Lynch's nomination to a government post due to her birth in Britain?
- I'm happy with ALT1, I agree that it is more interesting. Thanks @ITBF: Sammielh (talk) 18:37, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
ALT1 is gonna need a review, because I'm not sure that ALT0 is quite gonna make the cut theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:39, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
- ALT1 is fully cited in article and fine. In this case, recommend using "Britain" instead of "United Kingdom". Striking ALT0. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
