  • ... that the tenor and voice teacher Eliodoro Bianchi (depicted) performed in many world premieres of operas, with two roles written expressly for his voice by Rossini? Source: [1] and others

A little snappier. The hook shouldn't pack in so much information that the reader doesn't even want to click on the article :). The reference [2] is directly after the sentence in the lead on which this hook is based. Voceditenore (talk) 19:01, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
I almost knew that you would come up with a better hook, only I thought that Rossini alone would be "hookier" than mentioning operas which the readers may never have heard of. Also, if we want clicks to the singer, we should have him upfront, or will get clicks on Rossini. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:59, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
On the side: would you add an infobox to Ciro in Babilonia? I am afraid. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:02, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Scale insect. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:12, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Full review needed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:42, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Gerda, please explain the history. Is this nomination 11 days late? Yoninah (talk) 17:48, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
Shame on me, I did it again: looking only at first page of the article history which said 14 January. Sorry. Close if that can't be forgiven. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:55, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Truthfully, we have so few approved nominations, and even fewer biographical hooks, that I'm going to IAR on this one. Long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. Unable to check for close paraphrasing as sources are foreign-language. Both hooks are AGF and cited inline. I agree with Gerda that ALT0, with the subject's name first, is preferable, but if the promoter likes more detail about the roles, ALT1 is also fine. Images are freely licensed. QPQ done. Good to go.
