A fact from Anna B. Eckstein appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 August 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Anna Eckstein(pictured) dressed in white and collected six million signatures to promote world peace before the First World War?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Some paragraphs uncited, as well as the later life and death section. No paragraph or section should end without a citation. Please verify all content with in-line citations so that the maintenance tag can be removed and the DYK approved.
Comment I think we may need the book Miss Eckstein und ihr Peace on Earth by Karl Eberhard Sperl (2018), or another German source, such as Seien Sie doch vernünftig“ Frauen der Coburger Geschichte (2008). Digitised US and British/Irish newspapers can be cited for some sections, but don't have much information about her life in Germany before she arrived in the US, and none for post-WWI.

RebeccaGreen I consider the adequate sourcing issue largely addressed. Just looking for one more reference at Until their deaths in 1923 and 1926 Eckstein cared for her disabled sister Toni and her mother, respectively. or, conversely, that sentence could be removed. Enwebb (talk) 16:58, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have been trying to find a source with that information, but haven't yet. If it will not make the article too short, it might be simpler to delete it for now. RebeccaGreen (talk) 17:23, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Enwebb:Victuallers has moved the sentence about the mother and sister to the end of the previous paragraph. Is this sufficient for the sourcing now, or should we delete it until a source can be found? RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:58, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done If any other sentences or statements need citations, I'll be happy to try to address them from the current sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:26, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
