Comment: this is my first DYK nomination - hence no QPQ required
Overall: This is very close to passing DYK. If the neutrality and quote issues can be resolved (which are fairly minor), I would be happy to pass. ALT0 is my preferred, as ALT1 has some condescending/misogynisic language (i.e. that Carla Van Zonis a women who ran two arts festivals [...]) and a typo.Aknell4 (talk·contribs) 13:30, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
:I have just made some edits to the article. Thank you for your feedback on the article and the DYK. I can edit the 'woman' statement from ALT1 as an option for a DYK with more information? Pakoire (talk) 21:31, 13 June 2021 (UTC) [reply]
Your edits look good and resolve the issues with neutrality and plagiarism. I've made some minor edits to the article. Feel free to revert them. I would prefer ALT0, as it is more concise. --Aknell4 (talk·contribs) 01:03, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Your edit is fine. I am also happy with ALT0 - great. Pakoire (talk) 06:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Length and age meet requirements, copyvio and plagiarism concerns have been dealt with, reliable sources have been used, and hook is within the limits. Good for ALT0. --Aknell4 (talk·contribs) 12:04, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
