Overall: Passes DYK checklist.

Review Good to go! Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough. Every paragraph is cited. Hook references are verified and cited. No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing. Earwig's copy violation detector: Eleanore Petterson report gives it a clean bill. Hooks are hooky enough, I think, and relate directly to the essence of the article: interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited. QPQ done. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Could we restate and use ALT 2 as "... that Eleanore Pettersen, one of the first women to open an architectural firm in New Jersey, designed two houses that were lived in by Richard Nixon?" I think it is clearer and better tracks the source's language. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:31, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

The source explicitly says "the first New Jersey woman to open her own architectural firm", so I'm not sure what you're talking about. 97198 (talk) 06:09, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
