Hi--thank you very much for taking the time to review the DYK nom! I revised (
diffs) per your suggestions (and also tweaked some other stuff). What do you think? Also, what do you think about combining hook1 and alt2 into: ... that no woman in the US was awarded a PhD in mechanical engineering until
Lois Graham became the first in 1959?
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post this on the DYK nom page, or here or elsewhere, so sorry if this is the wrong place. Thanks again!

Sorry, didn't mean to skip the first paragraph; fixed that, with some slight rewording to get earwig down a bit more (now 62.1%). I also unbundled the cites and added some more detail about her early life. How's it look? Your comments have been very helpful, I think it's gotten much better!

There's discussion at Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Minnesota of a celebration in the Twin Cities on January 19. It would be great if that fits your schedule. Jonathunder ( talk) 01:35, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
On 15 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Solar storm of August 1972, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a record-breaking solar storm of August 1972 is thought to have caused the spontaneous detonation of numerous U.S. Navy sea mines in North Vietnam? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Solar storm of August 1972. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Solar storm of August 1972), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

On 19 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kathleen Hall Jamieson (pictured), author of Cyberwar, thinks it "highly probable" that Russia changed the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.
