ALT1... that Kong Tai Heong, the first Chinese woman to practice medicine in Hawaii, was credited by Ripley's Believe It or Not! as having delivered over 6,000 babies, the most for any private practitioner?

:* Comment: There may be a concern if we can cite Ripley's claim as a fact or just a claim, so that is what the difference between the first and second hook are about. ALT2 is a more boring hook.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:28, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

:* 16px New article submitted in time for original hook, as that can be verified in the sources and The Honolulu Advertiser newspaper for August 19, 1951 and June 23, 1959. Article is long enough and reliably sourced. The interesting hook is referenced properly. No picture in hook, so that is alright. QPQ done. Good To Go.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:51, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
