  • This article is long enough, was created on January 30th and is within policy and the image is appropriately licensed. Some of the references are in German. However, there are not currently inline citations to support all the facts in the proposed hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:08, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for looking, I completely forgot to improve this article which came from German WP without a ref and offline sources. I found online sources for some claims and prefer to present those (however true the former probably are):
ALT1:... that Berlin's Theater des Westens (pictured) was the stage for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes with Anna Pavlova, the premiere of Henze's opera König Hirsch, and the premiere in German of My Fair Lady? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT1 is good to do. Everything checks out OK: length, dates, footnotes in article, hook facts, and image license. Words of the article appear to be original, based on spot checks. --Orlady (talk) 03:29, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
