- Comment: I'm aware ALT1 might read as offensive to some, but "too fat" is the exact language used in the source.

Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. QPQ looks good. Hooks are interesting and succinct, but I see no mention of Freistater being "fired from her teaching job" in either the article or the source, just that she was denied her full-time license. Please let me know if I'm missing something, but I'd recommend rephrasing. I don't oppose the phrasing in ALT1, but I'd consider putting "too fat" in quotes and adding this to the article if it fits. This is almost good to go! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:13, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, good catch - That's what I get for not taking editing breaks! Rephrased hooks below: ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 01:18, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect! This is good to go. A fascinating topic; thank you for sharing it. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 01:24, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Completing the circle[edit]

Are we certain of the birth date listed (Sept. 24, 1908)? Because if that is correct, we should also list her death in Mexico City on Nov. 30, 1974. The death certificate (for Rose Gardenberg), which gives the same birth date, as well as the record of her marriage to Rafael Gardenberg in 1939, are both on Ancestry.
