- Comment: Will add a review within 24h. DYK Check and Earwig passed within 15 mins pre-submission. Hook - notable career shift from curator, with a strong background in glass and ceramics, to national librarian.
Created by SeoR (talk). Self-nominated at 21:17, 15 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Audrey Whitty; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- I added alt1. She is also an expert on Albert Bender who gave a huge art collection to Dublin but they never had room to display it - Whitty created the first exhibition. Victuallers (talk) 10:31, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- Many thanks, the article is now leaner and fitter. On Bender, not just that but the subject literally wrote the book on the topic. I have seen that exhibition and it is very well done. I will compose an alt to reflect this aspect too. It would be really nice to progress this nom. during Womens History Month, so I will get on with my QPQ also. SeoR (talk) 12:42, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

- Article: new enough upon nomination (created 3/8, nominated 3/15), is long enough, and the language is within policy.
- Hook: I like the alt1 hook, but I wonder if there should be a comma between "Whitty" and "who", i.e.
- Alt1a ...that Audrey Whitty, who created an exhibition about the thousands of Irish children who died in care, is now the director of the National Library of Ireland?
- A comma is needed because the relative clause is not restrictive (see here: [1])
- This hook's source: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/n10/clair-wills/architectures-of-containment
- Other: QPQ confirmed, no image
- Conclusion:
- You are welcome, User:SeoR. I don't think a Bender alt matters that much for now. All the best! TheLonelyPather (talk) 03:22, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
