long enough now, and the tag issue has been resolved. I'm not sure about the hooks though; they imply that all hooch maids had sex with soldiers, though the article makes it clear that only some of them did. I'd suggest a simpler hook, perhaps something like the following.
125: 272:
I think with the full quote, it is explained a bit more, but I kept it in there for a kind of shock effect. If you think it would work the other way, then go for it. Another idea would be to say that they flirted with the soldiers, and also kept the plumbing clean.

Date and sources look OK, but the article is too short - under 1,500 characters. This needs to be expanded if it's to qualify for DYK. Also, the clarification needed tag should be resolved.
133:: This is just one character over the limit, although I had to butcher the quote in order to fit it. If it is possible, I would love to incorporate the full quote so that it isn't butchered. 192:

This was because a lot of the Catholics were more sympathetic to the cause and many other various factors.
399: 65: 566:, they were also described as being "good Catholics who ... would never date an American soldier"? 114:, they were also described as being "good Catholics who ... would never date an American soldier"? 594: 517: 421: 209: 556: 301:

I don't mind either - I'll leave it to the closer's discretion. The article's good to go now.

I find that a incredibly degrading towards women and do not support that idea at all.

I understand, but to me it seems distracting; you'll get plenty of hits with "that

On the contrary, it was meant tongue in cheek for hookiness; but how is it now?
