New article (moved from draftspace), long enough. No obvious neutrality issues, all content has inline citations to reliable sources and Earwig returns no violations (false positive due to long organisation names and use of quotes). No QPQ required as this is the creator's fourth DYK. The images used in the article are correctly licensed. Thanks User:Sammielh - your suggested hook is fine, but I would also like to suggest the below alternative hook as I think the opposition to her nomination is quite interesting.

- ALT1: ... that the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed Marjorie Lynch's nomination to a government post due to her birth in Britain?
  - I'm happy with ALT1, I agree that it is more interesting. Thanks @ITBF: Sammielh (talk) 18:37, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - ALT1 is gonna need a review, because I'm not sure that ALT0 is quite gonna make the cut theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:39, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - ALT1 is fully cited in article and fine. In this case, recommend using "Britain" instead of "United Kingdom". Striking ALT0. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(Criteria marked are unassessed)

Lead

Linked London
Changed "American Army" to United States Army, as this is how it's referred to in Early life and should be consistent, also linked
Linked Washington DC
Lead is good, no issues. Summarises the body without excessive detail.

Early life

Linked London
Linked Paris
Linked Christmas
Source to text integrity for first two sentences of early life using ref [1] is good.
Ditto for first and second sentence of paragraph two
Linked US Army and changed to United States

Political career

Source to text integrity for paraph one checks out for the use of ref [9]
Ditto for [17], [20], [25].

General Comments

I really struggled to find fault with this one. A few missing links, but this is great work. You certainly practice what you preach about attention to detail and text to source integrity Sammielh! Did not find a single spelling error, and prose is excellent. Learned a lot from you during your review of my work and vice versa. Appreciate it.
