This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues (although the article was a little close to the Facebook page in places). The first hook is not very interesting, and I think ALT1 (and the article) needs quotation marks for the hot commodities statement. Could we not have a hook about the joyless Victory cake? It sounds delicious! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:31, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
Cwmhiraeth: ALT2: ...that someone told Kate Brew Vaughn that her eggless, sugarless, and butterless World War I Victory Cake was "joyless", but then ate three pieces? Source: Byrn, Anne (2016). American Cake: From Colonial Gingerbread to Classic Layer, the Stories and Recipes Behind More Than 125 of Our Best-Loved Cakes. Rodale. p. 138 ([3] "Cooking experts such as Kate Brew Vaughn lectured and showed Americans how to make Victory cakes-eggless, sugarless and butterless confections. Someone once called them "joyless," Vaughn told her crowd in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in April 1918, but then he ate three pieces") Elisa.rolle (talk) 13:02, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
ALT2 looks good to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:04, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- Footnote 2 (a Facebook page for someone who's not even alive) and 3 (genealogy.com) are not reliable sources and should be removed. I added a clarification-needed tag to the last paragraph under Career; since Wikipedia is timeless, we don't say "currently", but be specific about the year.

- Yoninah: removed both facebook and genealogy, as of, there is one sentence, the first employer which is without alternative sources. added as of 2008 since the book in which the statement is was published in 2008.Elisa.rolle (talk) 23:48, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
