@Jishara: Article is new enough (created on August 3), long enough, well-sourced, presentable, citation is good for hook, the hook is short enough, and interesting, no images are proposed to be used with hook, QPQ is completed, but I have found two issues:
1.) Her death year as 1945 is not cited. 2.) Rather than a hyphen at the start for "(1873-1945)" it should use: –
I think ALT1 is phrased better and I recommend it being chosen over ALT0; however, I propose this ALT2 to slightly change the wording, as most people probably don't know of Burn: ALT2: ... that the right of women to vote in the United States was decided by a single letter from a Tennessee schoolteacher?Delcoan (talk) 02:20, 7 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Jishara: Oh, aggravating. Well. First, due diligence: you're aware of your free access to the Library (and also to the general list, especially Chronicling America)? Second: have you tried approaching this backwards, by figuring out which wives/widows of former Louisiana governors were alive at that time and then looking for interactions with "Mrs. Burn", "Mrs. James Burn", etc?

@Jishara:Pleased to see that my suggestion was helpful; I've restructured your addition for greater epistemic validity. Since this point is now resolved, I withdraw my objection. DS (talk) 22:04, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Jishara and Delcoan: I added a citation needed tag to the article. Once resolved, this can be re-approved. Z1720 (talk) 02:11, 10 September 2026 (UTC)
