• This is not a review, but perWP:DYKHOOKCITE, "first" hooks are now discouraged on DYK unless such claims have airtight sourcing. Right now, the claim that Lively was the first black permanent resident of Indianapolis is unreferenced; however, even if it was, the claim is so exceptional that it is unlikely to gain consensus. Please propose a different hook.Narutolovehinata5 (talk ·contributions)06:33, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• ALT1: ... thatCheney Lively was the only Black female head of household in Indianapolis listed in the 1830 census?
• Source: Scott, Kate (2020). "Cheney Lively: A Black Woman on the Indiana Frontier". Traces of Indiana and Midwestern History. Vol. 32, no. 2. pp. 29–37

To be honest, this hook doesn't really seem to be interesting either.Narutolovehinata5 (talk ·contributions)08:51, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
