New enough, long enough, and properly sourced. The hooks feel a little unexciting to me, and their wording could be tightened up (why "has been involved in editing" when "has edited" would work better? what information does "her own" add to the second hook?) but I think they are still within DYK standards. Earwig found no copying. QPQ done. I am not convinced that ALT0 properly reflects the sourced content in the article: which "multiple books on architectural history" does the article state that she has personally edited? Is Light on a Hill or Art and Justice on architectural history? The article doesn't say so. Is she listed as editor for those books? Instead, ALT1 is properly sourced, so good to go with ALT1. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:30, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with you changing the wording of the Alt if you feel it can be tightened up, @David Eppstein:. Silver seren^C 20:01, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
