Moved to mainspace by West Virginian (talk). Self-nominated at 11:20, 11 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ruth Ann Davis; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article was worked on in userspace and then moved into mainspace. It is long enough, has citations throughout, and appears to be neutrally written. The hook fact is interesting enough and sourced. QPQ is provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:39, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Questions
Hello, West Virginian!
While reviewing the article Ruth Ann Davis, I have two questions:
- Do you think that the following record Records on Women Ambassadors may help us add more information? https://bush41library.tamu.edu/files/foia/1998-0260-F.pdf
- Do you think that a link about teaching may also bring benefit to the article? https://www.learntechlib.org/p/33679/
Reviewer's opinion
Well-written:
the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation; still there were some grammar inconsistencies and ambiguities and even a serious outright error when the university was confused with an U.S. state, still, this error was easy to fix and I fixed it and all other grammar errors I found
Verifiable with no original research:
it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline -- citations are formatted consistently;
reliable sources are cited inline, or must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph -- the exception is the lead section, in accordance with WP:LEAD;
it contains no original research; and
it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism; although there were many similarities. The highest level of similarities triggered by the Earwig's Copyvio Detector online tool and the Copyleaks online service was related to the page [1], but I addressed this issue and the alert should no longer be triggered, it is 5.4% similarity by Copyleaks, still Copyvio may trigger false alarms on long names such as university departments
Broad in its coverage:
it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and
it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each; still, I'm not sure about possible conflict of interest: if that is the case, then User:West Virginian should disclose it according to the rules stipulated in WP:COI; if it is not the case, I still urge User:West Virginian to declare on the article's talk page that there is no conflict of interest as this notion is explained on WP:COI
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
Illustrated:
- media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
- media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
Overall result: pass. The questions I addressed at the #Reviewer's opinion section would not prevent the article to pass the criteria check. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 04:27, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
