- Comment: I'm aware ALT1 might read as offensive to some, but "too fat" is the exact language used in the source.

Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. QPQ looks good. Hooks are interesting and succinct, but I see no mention of Freistater being "fired from her teaching job" in either the article or the source, just that she was denied her full-time license. Please let me know if I'm missing something, but I'd recommend rephrasing. I don't oppose the phrasing in ALT1, but I'd consider putting "too fat" in quotes and adding this to the article if it fits. This is almost good to go! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:13, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
