General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

  • Adequate sourcing: Yes
  • Neutral: Yes
  • Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: No - Earwig picks up some similarities with the TrowelBlazers post (which is cited as a source). Some of these are quotes or titles and don't give rise to concerns, but out of an abundance of caution I think "the first woman to work professionally in the field of archaeology in Greece" and "was particularly interested in increasing the visibility of [women's participation in society]" should be rephrased. For the first one, I'd suggest replacing with the wording used in the hooks ("the first Greek woman to work as a professional archeologist"). Earwig also picks up similarities with this article but having reviewed these I can't spot any concerns.
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article is new enough (promoted to GA on 8 September) and long enough. Well-cited (as would be expected for a GA). I think both hooks are good and interesting. QPQ not required as the user has only 2 existing DYK credits. It's a really great article on an interesting subject, well done. The only points are the similarities with the sources noted above, which I'd hope would be easy to rework. @Eritha: please ping me once this has been done.

Thanks for flagging those up @Chocmilk03:! I've rewritten both of those sentences slightly, hope it looks ok now! Eritha (talk) 06:57, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
