Both facts are verified, cited from source, and in the article. My only concern is with a potential plagiarism issue shown here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&oldid=896269017&action=compare&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.olneydailymail.com%2Fnews%2F20181030%2Four-story-begins-in-1851 . If that is resolved, I think the article and either hook should be good to go. StudiesWorld (talk) 21:09, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
The plagiarism concern was resolved by @CuriousDaily: and I. One of the sentences remains a close paraphrase, but is impossible to avoid given the nature of the sentence. StudiesWorld (talk) 22:32, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- After addressing the above concerns, we recommend using the first choice DYK hook rather than ALT1 hook since as @CuriousDaily rewrote the section regarding the first legally qualified woman VP - it turns out the history is messier and makes it tough to have a succinct and accurate DYK. --Khughes23 (talk) 16:54, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
