- Comment: New article on a self-taught ethnologist, whose work has only been fully appreciated towards the end of her life and even much later.

- Not a review, but ALT0 is unsuitable per NPOV and WTA concerns. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:07, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
Date, size, refs, spotchecks, QPQ - ok. But I concur that the hooks are not good. NLH5 above already pointed out problems in ALT0, while I'll note that ALT1 is pretty mundane (most scholars and writers can be said to have died before finishing something they wanted to write), and also, the text doesn't say the same (in article body) - it says she did not want to finish the planned tome - which is not the same as saying she did not do it. This should be fixed, but anyway, I think a more interesting hook is needed. Perhaps that she was self-taught - although that is just a passing note in the article, and is not cited in the sentence the claim is made. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:12, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- Piotrus Thanks for your review and comments. I just have stricken through ALT1 and added ALT2 and ALT3, hoping this will be acceptable. - I do not see, however, why ALT0 should be disqualified because of NPOV or WTA. The source given clearly speaks about this judgement, and there are no peacock words to my understanding. Munfarid1 (talk) 11:09, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
I am good with ALT2 and ALT3. I am neutral on ALT0. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:10, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- The word "unjustly" is somewhat of a value or subjective claim, and is the type of wording that is generally avoided in Wikivoice. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 05:35, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- I see your point now, and have stricken through the word "unjustly" in ALT0. This might give the promotor another choice.
