- I'd suggest dropping "lock stock and barrel" as the Main Page prefers more dialect-neutral terms, and I don't think the emphasis is necessary. I get what you mean, but there may be people who don't get the term. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:11, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- That's why I linked it. I thought it had a nice ring, but I have changed it. Marrante (talk) 15:31, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- I agree that it's interesting, but probably not worth the hassle. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:37, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- I've added an ALT1 hook that I should have thought of before. It doesn't bring out the great work she did, but it's kind of funny. Marrante (talk) 19:09, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
- Just a heads up – I'm thinking about making this a double nom, adding Bunce Court School, which I will hopefully be finishing today. Marrante (talk) 10:22, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Now this woman was a true hero. Good to go, AGF on the heavily cited German-language source. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:45, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- I fully agree about the heroine part. I have delinked the school in ALT1 because I have now made it a separate DYK nom (as per the rule not to have been on DYK before, assuming I'm reading that correctly there. If not, you're welcome to restore it! Marrante (talk) 05:48, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- The rule only means as a bolded article. Having it without the bold is fine. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:30, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
