  • Article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been provided. I'm assuming good faith for the source as it's paywalled for me. The hook is interesting, but the citation is only mentioned with regards to her travelling with the German couple; for DYK purposes, the fact about her pretending to be a servant also needs a footnote.

  • I'm fine with changing it to companion if necessary, Narutolovehinata5, but the usage of the term in that time period for travel meant servant. Pulszky's own maids and other attendees were also referred to as companions when she traveled. I'm not sure what you mean with the first part. The citation directly discusses her using the German couple and their passport to escape from Hungary and Austria and get to Western Europe where she finally arrived in London.

@Silver seren: Oh, I'm sorry if my original comment wasn't clear. I meant to say that the sentence She returned home to Pest disguised as a servant and avoided recognition despite being accosted and inspected by a branch of the Austrian army during her return. did not have the footnote.

I don't understand. That sentence doesn't have anything to do with the DYK hook. That's a different event weeks prior to the event with the German couple where she succeeded in her escape. SilverserenC 13:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see. I think I may have misread that part since I was looking for "servant" in the article and thought that her pretending to be a servant was what supported the hook fact. If that's the case then I think changing the hook to say "companion" would work better while also not needing additional footnotes.

Changed to companion. SilverserenC 15:09, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Is that a yes then, Narutolovehinata5? SilverserenC 23:58, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for the late response, as I went to sleep shortly after my last comment, but this is now indeed good to go. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:02, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
