- Comment: I can provide more hooks later.
Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 13:40, 4 September 2022 (UTC).
Approved pending completion of QPQ. Article is well-written, well-sourced, and new enough (submitted within 3 days of achieving GA status), of sizeable length, written neutrally, with no apparent copyvio issues (per Earwig plus spot check of the many images). Hooks are all interesting; information associated with each of the hooks appear within the article, and references check out. One comment about the rejection of Madonna's application to live at the San Remo: some of the coverage cited states that the main objection from residents was the unwanted attention and disruption from paparazzi and fans, etc. – whereas the current copy implies that it mainly came down to her recent appearances in Playboy and Penthouse. Might be worth taking a look at that? Cielquiparle (talk) 15:44, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Cielquiparle: Thanks for the review. I have done a QPQ now. As you suggested, I've also reworded the bit about Madonna's application being rejected. Epicgenius (talk) 15:11, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
Approved! (@Epicgenius: Not a show stopper, but something about that passage still doesn't feel quite right. Check out the way The LA Times framed the same points re: co-op board rejection.) Cielquiparle (talk) 02:15, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
