Improved to Good Article status by Amitchell125 (talk). Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 19:23, 30 August 2022 (UTC).[reply]

  • Typically, I'm not keen on the source being "several," though a precise source for this hook can be found on page 238 of this article, so the statement is well-sourced both in-article and here (just glad it was in English!). Image is absolutely front-page worthy (and free; painted in the 1860s). QPQ done, hook is great on both length and content. Article recently hit GA status, though just a couple days outside the five-day nomination window. Unless any of the DYK leads disagrees, I think a 48 hour tardiness is entirely acceptable–I'm of the opinion that GA hook noms deserve the greatest leniency. Overall, nice job to all the editors involved. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:48, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spotchecks

[edit]

Amitchell125, I should have done spotchecks when I reviewed this for GA; I've done some now and have a couple of issues:

  • FN 204 cites "Most of the production costs for the premiere were borne directly by the Vatican". The source doesn't say "most", though it may have been; I think we should just make this "Some of".
Done. AM
  • FN 215 cites "Dnipropetrovsk Opera and Ballet Theatre. Opened in 1974 and housed in a modern building": I don't see support for "modern building"; am I missing it?
No, now sorted. AM

And not a verification issue, but "Vitaly Kyreiko's opera Boyarynya was written in 2003 and premiered in 2008" is cited to the same source twice -- should one of those be to a different source? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 18:05, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, now sorted. AM
Thanks for fixing those. I can't check the offline sources which support most of the article but given that I found a couple of slight inaccuracies you might check a sample just to make sure other errors didn't creep in during the editing process.
