Overall: Looks mostly good. No QPQ required and the image should work. I was a bit confused by the sentence Allen was born in Virgina in 1937, and names Iona Tolliver. Could you clarify what that second part means?Prefer the ALT0 hook.BeanieFan11 (

Hi. There was a typo in referring to Tolliver as her birth or maiden name. I've revised that sentence for clarity. Thanks very much for the review.

This should be good then. Assuming good faith on the offline source used for the hook.

Thank you for taking a look. Lunar Outfitters: Making the Apollo Space Suit is available in Google Books -- I would search for her name and the title before clicking over to Google Books to see the pages in question. I am trying to determine if any of the databases in the Wikipedia Library have access to the Deleware State News. Will let you know if I find one. Thank you for your consideration,

It doesn't seem to be working for me – but I'm fine assuming good faith on the sources.
