Very interesting topic and well written article, but the sentence that supports the hook does not seem to have a citation. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:12, 2 November 2013 (UTC).
- Sure-- I've sourced the statement with an existing source in the article. I, JethroBT drop me a line 16:11, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

- a) Yeah, I agree that "The" should be dropped from the article title. Thanks for the catch, I'll move the page.
- b) "even" is used because the group was created specifically to staff military hospitals because nurses were sorely needed. However, (in reading the article), there was discomfort in doing so amongst hospitals, and so mostly untrained male nurses continued to work the hospitals even after the Sacred Twenty were implemented as Navy Nurses. Perhaps there is a better way to phrase this, and I'm open to suggestions. Here's a suggested alt:
- ALT1: ... that in the few years after the formation of the exclusively female Sacred Twenty (pictured), military nursing tasks during World War I were still often done by untrained men?
- c) For me, this is checkable using the Google Books preview function. Here is a link to the relevant page. If it's not viewable, let me know and I can provide a quotation.
- That should be everything. I, JethroBT drop me a line 19:26, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, I can't move the page on my own because a redirect was setup already from Sacred Twenty. I'll get an admin to move this one. I, JethroBT drop me a line 19:29, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

- Thanks for the changes and ping ... I was only checking for WP:MEDRS compliance, and will leave the rest of the DYK review (length, copyvio, etc) to regular DYK reviewers. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:04, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
Now that the reference for the hook has been verified (and checked via Google Books), this is good to go. Lankiveil (speak to me) 09:40, 7 November 2013 (UTC).
