Moved to mainspace by Storye book (talk). Self-nominated at 12:11, 19 December 2023 (UTC).

Interesting life, on fine sources, offline soucs accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, but looks too big, and should probably not be name "example" but "award" or "cross of merit" or what. The hook idea is fine by me, but the wording leaves a bit open if only the award was after World War II, or also her services, no? Perhaps I'm the only one to think so. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)- ps: I was told today that we don't have brackets in DYK, so please find a different way of saying 1st class (if it matters, - perhaps we could do without). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:50, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that teacher Mary Creighton Bailey was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (award pictured) for her services in the improvement of education in Germany?Storye book (talk) 18:09, 21 December 2023 (UTC)- That's better regarding the brackets, but now I miss any time. This could have happened last year and then would be not not worth mentioning. A German award to an English woman rather shortly after WWII is more interesting, no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:03, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
