A fact from Louise Beach appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 February 2025 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the musical career of Louise Beach has ranged from nationally recognized compositions to a children's book about the viola?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Looks like this nomination skirted in just in time, so good job getting it done. Please complete your QPQ ASAP. Looking at the article broadly, length is good, sourcing seems adequate, and no images makes that part easy. I think the hook isn't terribly good, though. Consider jazzing it up by yanking the book title and noting the that her varied career has included composing at the highest level and children's book writing. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:02, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the feedback, Pbritti. Just completed my QPQ review.
How's this for an alternate hook?
ALT1: ...that the music career of Louise Beach has ranged from nationally-recognized composition to a children's book about the viola?
