Improved to Good Article status by BennyOnTheLoose (talk). Self-nominated at 14:23, 9 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Pamela Stephenson; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Article is a newly-promoted GA and easily meets the length requirement. Thoroughly reviewed by Mujinga at GA, and I find no other concerns. Personally I think ALT2 is the funniest, and it is in the article and cited appropriately. The photo looks nice at small size and appears to be appropriately licensed from Flickr. Good to go IMO. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:55, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

@Premeditated Chaos and BennyOnTheLoose: It took me a bit but it was right there for ALT2: She was "delighted with that description". Without objection I like it for a quirky. This might make a good quirky hook.^(?). Bruxton (talk) 20:33, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
