Comment: Will add a review within 24h. DYK Check and Earwig passed within 15 mins pre-submission. Hook - notable career shift from curator, with a strong background in glass and ceramics, to national librarian.
I added alt1. She is also an expert on
Albert Bender who gave a huge art collection to Dublin but they never had room to display it - Whitty created the first exhibition.

Many thanks, the article is now leaner and fitter. On Bender, not just that but the subject literally wrote the book on the topic. I have seen that exhibition and it is very well done. I will compose an alt to reflect this aspect too. It would be really nice to progress this nom. during Womens History Month, so I will get on with my QPQ also.

Article: new enough upon nomination (created 3/8, nominated 3/15), is long enough, and the language is within policy.
Hook: I like the alt1 hook, but I wonder if there should be a comma between "Whitty" and "who", i.e.
Many thanks, and agreed re. that comma, so I have labelled that Alt1a, hope that's OK. I never did post a Bender alt, but OK, as, as a hook, all variations I tried required too many chars to explain.

You are welcome,
User:SeoR. I don't think a Bender alt matters that much for now. All the best!
