Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/United Ukrainian Ballet Company; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Interesting article, thank you! Fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I like ALT1 better because it has more performance. My wording would be (clarify that not in Ukraine, tense, fewer countries):

ALT1a: ... that the United Ukrainian Ballet Company, of exiled dancers based in The Hague, has toured in the U.K. Singapore, Australia and the U.S.? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:05, 9 February 2023 (UTC)\[reply]

Thanks for the review! I'm fine with the new hook but I also added the UK to it. Corachow (talk) 21:57, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Striking the original because it's not specific to the company. Dutch sources accepted AGF. Oksana Shvets on my mind today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
