  • I'm confused about what the interesting part of the hook is supposed to be. Is it that she taught in Turkey, taught physics, taught physics in Turkey, or joined NASA? The study of physics fits well into NASA. SL93 (talk) 04:27, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
  • This is a copy of a comment from the nominator's talk page - "Hi, in order to eligible for the 2× BLP exception in DYK, an article must have had no references at all before expansion began. This is not the case for your nomination: Template:Did you know nominations/Jean Swank. However, you've almost expanded it the "normal" 5× amount. It was 526 prose characters before expansion, and it's now 2547. So, if you can add just another 83 characters, it will be a full five times expansion." SL93 (talk) 04:29, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Struck original ALT and added wikilinks to ALT1. Agree it's better. Thanks for your help.DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·cont) Join WER 16:28, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the interesting alt. The article meets DYK criteria - expanded enough, expanded within the 5 day time frame, reliably referenced, and no copyright violations. The image is free use. SL93 (talk) 07:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
