Elizabeth Barrows Ussher

  • ... that the diary of Christian missionary Elizabeth Barrows Ussher (pictured) is said to have described "unspeakable cruelty"?

Created by Proudbolsahye (talk). Self nominated at 07:30, 1 October 2013 (UTC).

  • Good to go. Prose size: 6,327 characters (1058 words), created by Proudbolsahye on October 1, 2013. Well cited.[1] Please consider revising the hook. It is not understandable enough at present. Example of an improved hook below:
Thanks Poeticbent (talk · contribs). I was reluctant to add more info as to what these "unspeakable cruelties" are to make people wonder which I thought would increase the chances of clicking on it. Also, I personally don't like two Wikilinks in one hook. But I'm fine with whatever in the end of the day. Proudbolsahye (talk) 21:04, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
This article is practically checked out and good to go. The initial reviewer hasn't made note of hook approval. I suggest the first hook proposal is better. Proudbolsahye (talk) 18:42, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I agree with the page creator that the original hook is very hooky. Article is new enough, long enough, well sourced, offline refs AGF. There are just two small issues:
  1. There needs to be a link to Van (or Van Vilayet?) the first time it's mentioned in the article.
  2. I wonder why the page is called Elizabeth Freeman Ussher, when her maiden name was Elizabeth Barrows?
  • Once these issues are cleaned up, the nomination will be ready for the main page. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:51, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Yoninah (talk · contribs), thank you for the review. I added the wlink for Van. I was kind of confused what to name it myself. Freeman is her middle name. I guess I'm not familiar with the MOS stuff on such articles. I can move the article to Elizabeth Ussher or Elizabeth Barrows Ussher...Would that be better?

  • It seems to me that it should be Elizabeth Barrows Ussher. After you move the page, we'll complete this nomination. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:02, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for taking care of that. I changed the link in the hook, but I don't know how to change the nomination template; I'll leave that to the administrators. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:06, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Everything that needed changing has been changed. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 22:32, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I knew you would come through! Yoninah (talk) 22:35, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
