Given I have begun reading this for DYK I will continue here. Queries to be jotted below:
- "
Empty Orchestra" follows a relatively simply narrative of co-workers on a night out..."simple"..?- Yes, fixed; thanks! Josh Milburn (talk) 21:33, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sold on the capitalised Deaf I must say, but am not familiar with current terminology so am happy to defer on this...- I wouldn't have capitalised it normally, but I'm following Howlett's own terminology. I think it's generally good practice (and this is enshrined in at least a few policies/guidelines on Wikipedia) to respect people's own ascriptions of self-identity. I suspect she has favoured it because she wants to say that she is Deaf, rather than just being deaf. So, from our article on Deaf culture: "When used as a cultural label especially within the culture, the word deaf is often written with a capital D and referred to as "big D Deaf" in speech and sign. When used as a label for the audiological condition, it is written with a lower case d." Josh Milburn (talk) 21:33, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Pemberton drew inspiration from the way viewers "sensed those characters were having fun at these musical events". - f this could be written without paraphrasing and quotes that's be good as not memorable or distinctive. The article has a lot of quotes, but most add something when relayed verbatim.- Rephrased. I appreciate I use a lot of quotes in these articles; something to work on!
