Moved to mainspace by Frzzl (talk). Self-nominated at 14:42, 2 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Henriette Ith; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
How wonderfully detailed! Gathering this much information for a new article is quite a feat. New, long, comprehensive, and impeccably sourced. Good job finding a public domain photograph as well. I would propose alternative hooks, however:
- ALT1: ... that Swiss-born peace activist Henriette Ith had to marry an anarchist to regain Swiss citizenship?
- ALT2 ... that Swiss photographer Henriette Ith became a celibate socialist after her husband turned to German nationalism?
They seem punchier to me, but would have to be reviewed by another reviewer if you agree. To make things easier for them, I will point out that the source is here, pages 47 and 45 for ALT1 and ALT2 respectively. Surtsicna (talk) 13:19, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! The photo there's apparently one of two in existence that had her in it, so it was quite the stroke of luck that it was PD haha. When I did this hook, I was wary of using "had to" because it implies that their marriage was purely for practical reasons, which I don't think it true. However, I really like the second, it's much better than my one. My only query for it would be with wikilinking - maybe celibate or German nationalism. Do you want to mark this second opinion?

- I have noticed a recent trend here at DYK to eschew non-essential links, so as not to detract from the nominated article. I myself am a little confused as to what the current community consensus is regarding such links. Surtsicna (talk) 16:43, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
