Pueblo speech
- ... that Woodrow Wilson's 1919 Pueblo speech was the last time he gave a public oration?
- ALT1:... that Woodrow Wilson "could hardly see" and had a bad headache as he delivered the 6,000 word Pueblo speech, and collapsed shortly after?

Article adequately expanded, well written, no copyvios, AGF for the source. Interesting hook, I had to check exactly when Wilson died as I didn't think it was right after WWI, so this puts some more context into it. Only quibble is the QPQ doesn't appear to exist.

- Thanks, Ritchie333, I've since reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/1991 Football League Fourth Division play-off Final. Wilson has a stroke in 1919 shortly after he gives this speech, but is alive (though active is a bit of a stretch) until 1924, when he dies. I'll add a sentence to that effect to the article.

Okay, then we're sorted. Only other quibble is could you copyedit the main hook so the word "speech" doesn't appear twice? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:11, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
