• This article contains factual errors such as her being the first elected mayor in the USA see List of first female mayors and a large amount of trivia. I am in the process of cleaning up. Dom from Paris (talk) 16:01, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you for taking a look at the page. I sincerely apologize for the error in citing her as the first female mayor in the United States. One of the news articles I was citing had unclear wording that lead me to think that she was. I do believe that was the only gross source of confusion in the article, as everything else was cited and sourced and I am unaware of any other factual errors. I did use some print sources which I understand can cause some difficultly for reviewers. If you would like me to provide any direct quotes, please feel free to ask.

• Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:43, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
• Pass for ALT0 and ALT1. ALT2 is problematic. While plural marriage had been outlawed in Utah, I'm not sure it'd be accurate to say that she got married in Mexico to "avoid facing prosecution" (to get around a legal obstacle, maybe). The article and the linked source only say that she used a pseudonym to avoid persecution. Otherwise, article is new and long enough, and I see no outstanding issues. QPQ not required, as this is the nominator's second DYK. I've made a few edits, including moving the Utah History to Go ref to the end of the slingshot sentence, as it contained no mention of alcohol mailing. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:41, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

• Note: I have struck ALT2 per the previous review, and linked "Kanab" in ALT1 because the word means nothing absent the context given by a link. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:17, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
• I have also restored Paul_012's tick, since the use of the ? icon after it makes it appear to the bot that this has not been approved: the final icon is what the bot cares about when compiling the table of hooks by date and determining which hooks count as "verified".
