• Comment: I hope you don't mind, SL93, I've suggested an ALT1. Feel free to strikethrough if it you don't want it :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:37, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

• Theleekycauldron It's fine. I removed the word famous though. SL93 (talk) 21:33, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - She was the first African American executive director at the Des Moines Public Library and the first woman to have that role in 50 years should be rephrased, we're good otherwise

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: One sentence needs to be cleaned up, and someone else has to approve the hook—but you're almost there. Nice work! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 02:17, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Theleekycauldron I fixed the sentence. SL93 (talk) 21:54, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

aight, we should be good on that, then. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 22:01, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

• New reviewer needed to check ALT1 hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:55, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

• Meets newness and length requirements, no close paraphrasing or copyvio. ALT1 is fun and interesting, I approve. Nice little article, I gave it a sprucing, adding some basic biographical information citing references that may prove very fruitful for further expansion.

Patent on BBQ Sauce

Patents only last 20 years so if her parents patented their BBQ sauce, she cannot possibly own the patent. Too much time has elapsed and there is no longer a patent to own.Bill (talk) 02:50, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
