====Anna Russell Cole====

[[File:Anna Virginia Russell Cole.jpg|thumb|right]]

I’m afraid I don’t agree that {{tq| ... that Anna Russell Cole, a significant benefactor of Vanderbilt University, donated $10,000 in 1926 to endow the office of dean of women?}} is an interesting hook. This fact tells us that a benefactor gave money to a university. That sounds likely.

:::I don't think WP:ERRORS is the place to relitigate whether hooks are interesting or not. That's a subjective question and not a clear-cut error or violation of core Wikipedia guidelines that I'd expect us to fix after the prep process is over. Suggest we close this and move on.  — [[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 10:08, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

::::I'm inclined to disagree, since [[WP:DYKCRIT]] clearly states that approval is subjective. That said, I think the hook is mostly interesting, but I [[WP:DYKTRIM|should have trimmed it]] along the lines of Launchballer's suggestion above.

It's a shame that this was not the picture hook as her lead picture is quite striking. ''[https://www.jstor.org/stable/42621182 Anna Russell Cole: A Study of a Grande Dame]'' makes it clear that she was quite a striking figure in person. We might have had a hook like:

* ... that [[Anna Russell Cole]] ''(pictured)'' was known for her brilliance and beauty, called 'The Pride of Georgia', and became a ''[[grande dame]]''?
