New enough, long enough, well cited. Hook is composite, with all parts directly cited in the article. DYK check all green. I have made some minor grammar touchups to the body. QPQ complete. GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Maury Markowitz: Thanks for the review! Just wanted to make sure you checked for compliance in Cherokee Ranch petrified forest. Thank you! ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:53, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

~~Is this a dual-nom? I read it as a single.~~ Ahh, I didn't see the bold text. Give me a bit. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:54, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Maury Markowitz: Sorry for the confusion; thank you for your prompt re-review. Have a great day! ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:07, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Pbritti and Maury Markowitz: Not sure if she personally ever herded cattle but it is assumed. The article has a few sentences which are written with a conversational tone. Sentences such as Kimball would raise her two sons at Cherokee Castle and would eventually marry three more times might be rewritten with a more encyclopedic-tone. Perhaps in past tense? We can also find a non-free image of her since the subject is deceased. Also it is "Colorado's only petrified forest" according to sources an we may have incorporated that into a hook. Additionally, I cannot use the image because it does not appear in the article, it is also tangential to the subject Bruxton (talk) 16:15, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
