Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- I’m concerned the hook may not be legible to many readers; I am reasonably interested in related topics and still had not heard of Millicent Fawcett, and the entry does not explain.
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Thank you for nominating this interesting and worthy entry! If I could make one general recommendation for making this important topic more accessible to the non-specialist reader, I think regardless of the hook, the entry could benefit from a few words explaining who Fawcett was, and likewise to explain what the Bangor dispute was (currently it’s a bit mysterious). As to the hook, I wonder if it would be more interesting to say something like:
ALT1 ... that Oxford suffragist Myvanwy Rhys earned first-class honours from Newnham College, Cambridge, but was denied a degree?

- Thanks so much Innisfree987 - these are all great points. I hope @Manxshearwater: can expand the points in the article. As for the ALT - I think that's much better, thank you for coming up with it, I've scratched the top one Lajmmoore (talk) 06:28, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Wonderful! @Manxshearwater: maybe you could just ping me once you’ve had a chance to look and then I’ll tick off the nomination? It doesn’t need to be anything elaborate, just another half sentence’s explanation would be plenty I think—I’m almost tempted to do it myself but it would be much better if someone familiar with the topic did! Thank you both, I enjoyed learning about Rhys! Innisfree987 (talk) 06:49, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Innisfree987: @Lajmmoore: Thanks, great points and I have added some info on Fawcett and on the Bangor dispute so hopefully that helps! Happy with the nomination and I think the alt hook is great. Glad you enjoyed learning about her too! Manxshearwater (talk) 10:32, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
