Harriet Law[edit]

(

)

... that freethinker Harriet Law was the only woman on the general council of the First International, and was praised by Eleanor Marx and Karl Marx?

Created by GPJ (talk), Andrew Davidson (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 19:50, 13 August 2013 (UTC).

Too short at 995 characters (172 words) "readable prose size". Also, flagged as a stub. A bit too heavily reliant on the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography source for my liking. I may pump it up a bit - seems an interesting subject. Aymatth2 (talk) 17:35, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, the article lost a chunk of text when I pruned the copyvio which was merged in from another draft. The incident demotivated me so it's good to see User:Aymatth2 pick the torch up and run with it — kudos. His additions are excellent, as always. We still need an image though so I'll take another look now that we have more content to work with. Andrew Davidson (talk) 12:48, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

This article is now long enough and it was new enough on the date of nomination. The hook is well sourced. I have added Aymatth2 and Edwardx to the list of credits. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:40, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
