- @Whispyhistory:, "Scope-Journal.com" seems to be a hijacked journal. 48JCL 20:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thankyou... Whispyhistory (talk) 07:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Article new enough (July 7), long enough (2300 B), sourced. ALT0 verified in source; can't access the source for ALT1, so assuming good faith. I think ALT0 is more interesting than ALT1. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 21:49, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- I asked for insight on the DYK talk page because of the recent incorrect "first" hooks that have run. SL93 (talk) 21:40, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- The problem with "the first Indian female physician in Western medicine to have trained alongside men in India" is that's an open-ended set. Nowhere do we have an authoritative list of every physician who ever trained in India. I'd be less concerned about something based on "Grant Medical College's first female graduate" because at least there, somebody could enumerate every person who has graduated from that school and look at each one. I assume that's what Kavitha Rao did, or at least she based her statement on somebody who did. RoySmith (talk) 13:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

A new hook is needed. SL93 (talk) 00:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- ALT2: ... that in 1884 Motibai Kapadia's father allowed her to study alongside men in India? "father allowed her to study medicine along with other male students" [4]
- Thank you all above. I took Rao's claim out as I found other women graduated from Grant before Kapadia and Rao doesn't state Indian. Kapadia may have been the only Indian female doctor in the whole of Gujarat for many years, but I can't find a reliable source. Other suggestions welcome.
