Thanks so far, Ktin. I’ve removed the stub tag and added the citation (I have a distinct memory of formatting the cite earlier, but it must have gotten lost along the way). QPQ is on its way Cheers, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:16, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ktin: reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Crushed Rock, Mpape. Cheers, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 20:40, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Eddie891:, thanks. Updated the checklist above. Quick question -- do you have some cycles to update the article furthermore? I saw a few autobiography articles, they seem to have 'background' and 'reception' sections like you have. But, in addition, they also have something about the 'plot' that speaks to the narrative of the book? Is that something you can attempt? But, the nomination as it stands right now meets the numerical size threshold for DYK. Let me know. Ktin (talk) 20:49, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ktin: I haven't actually read the book, so I'm unable to write a plot section. I've added a sentence that specifies what parts of her life the book covers, but I think the background and Rosalynn's article provide enough information for a reader to figure out what would be included. If I ever get a chance to read the memoir, I'll add a plot section. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 23:47, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alrightie. Adding check mark and approval. Let's go ahead. Ktin (talk) 00:45, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
