Frieda Nadig
- ... that when Frieda Nadig proposed to include the sentence "men and women have equal rights" in the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany in 1948, her suggestion was initially rejected? Source: Notz 2011
- ALT1:... that "mother of the Basic Law" Frieda Nadig lived in a tunnel together with 2500 other people?
- ALT2:... that Frieda Nadig was one of the four "mothers of the Basic Law", the only female members of the Parliamentary Council that drafted the constitution of West Germany in 1948/49?
- Reviewed: Judith Liberman
- Comment: I was amazed we didn't have an article on this important woman, central in the early postwar German struggle for women't rights. There are pictures related to the tunnel, but I don't think there is a free image of the person. Better hooks always welcome.

Very interesting article. I like ALT1 best, followed by ALT2 epicgenius (talk) 17:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- Epicgenius, thank you for the review! I fixed the references as you suggested -- it's only my second article using {{sfn}}, so I haven't quite figured out how it works. —Kusma (t·c) 17:28, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Kusma: No problem. By the way, User:Ucucha/HarvErrors might be slightly helpful for SFN references, as it points out SFN ref errors. epicgenius (talk) 03:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Epicgenius, thank you, that's a very useful script, just used it to fix errors in my other Harvard referenced article that I hadn't been aware of. BTW do you know why the bot hasn't moved this nom to /Approved or is this a question for @Wugapodes:? —Kusma (t·c) 10:03, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Kusma, I think the bot has been down for a few days now, so maybe it should be moved to /Approved manually. epicgenius (talk) 13:39, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
The bot that has been down is a different bot. WugBot seems to be active. —Kusma (t·c) 14:06, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oops, I didn't realize. Maybe WugBot didn't catch the check mark.
Here it is. epicgenius (talk) 17:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this to a special slot in our March 8 International Women's Day set. I'm wondering if we could combine facts from the different hooks to make a more suitable hook for this day. Like:- ALT3: ... that Frieda Nadig, one of the four "mothers of the Basic Law" of the Federal Republic of Germany, proposed to include the sentence "men and women have equal rights" in the 1948 law but was voted down? Yoninah (talk) 16:22, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah, this is probably ok, but there's one minor issue with it. "1948 law" sounds like it was any old law. It was, in fact, the constitution of West Germany, which just happens to be called "Basic Law" because they wanted to wait until reunification before thinking about something as permanent as a constitution. It also was finished only in 1949, and "1949 constitution" is a better way to describe it. That the sentence was included in the end is probably part of the hookiness of the story, so I'll defer to you about not using "initially" as in ALT0. I'm super happy about a Women's Day slot for her, by the way. Here's another version. —Kusma (t·c) 17:28, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
- ALT4 ... that when Frieda Nadig, one of the four "mothers of the Basic Law", the constitution of West Germany, proposed to include the sentence "men and women have equal rights" in the constitution in 1948 but was voted down?
- @Kusma: Thank you. I was looking for another word there and "constitution" fits the bill. But your alt is really too long. Can we go with:
- ALT3a: ... that Frieda Nadig, one of the four "mothers of the Basic Law" in the Federal Republic of Germany, proposed to include the sentence "men and women have equal rights" in the 1949 constitution but was voted down? Yoninah (talk) 17:32, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
