Starting review. Zeete (talk) 10:49, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- New, moved to main space on April 12, 2025, long enough (over 4,000 per DYK check, but contains several quotes), cited, neutral, Earwig reported violation unlikely (3,8%), QPQ done. Both hooks interesting, cited.
- @Lajmmoore: Should "orchestral" be "orchestral life" in the hook? What is the reference for (a pun of "sex and shopping") in the article? Should "bonkbuster" have a direct reference? Should the article be linked in Rutshire Chronicles? Thanks, Zeete (talk) 11:29, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Zeete - I've added a bonkbuster reference (ref 2 i think), added life to the hook (you were quite right), I've moved the pun into a note, and added a link at Rutshire Chronicles Lajmmoore (talk) 18:14, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Changes look good. Interesting article. Note, I fixed the typo in the hook, "resarched" to "researched". Good to go! Thanks, Zeete (talk) 18:33, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
