This looks like a pretty good article. Well-written, entertaining, comprehensive, and well-referenced.

The only problem, really, is a few missing references in the last section, so once those are sorted, this can easily be promoted. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 00:58, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What facts specifically do you think are so dubious that they need to be provided with citations? Bear in mind that GA criterion 2b does not require every sentence to be sourced. Spinning Spark 13:20, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, obviously. But there are certain amounts of "good practice" to consider. I've marked it; I'll see if any of it can be cited. The last one (the film existing) is probably optional, but better done.

One other issue: "The flitch of bacon" is very weird capitalization for an opera title. I'm going to capitalize it.

Also, I found a source for the opera: Hauger, George (Oct. 1950). "William Shield". Music & Letters. 31 (4). Oxford University Press: 337–342. {{cite journal}}: |access-date= requires |url= (help); Check date values in: |year= (help)CS1 maint: year (link). I think the book is already cited in the article. I'll check and copy that source, leaving just the film. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:07, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Here's a list of the changes I've made:

It's generally good practice to have a citation at least for every paragraph. Mainly just enough to show things exist, and provide a little more information if people are interested. ✓ Pass Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:43, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As a bit of a late aside, I do think this would be a good FAC. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:39, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
