- I get 235 characters for hook length. Shouldn't the hook be under 200 characters. I noticed there is a short biography on him in English here. Perhaps you could use his picture as a Fair Use for the article. I'll continue with the review after the hook issue is resolved and the QPQ has been done. BTW, my 75th was on January 4.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:36, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review, Doug, and belated happy birthday! - I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/First Baptist Church (Toronto). - The English bio is under the external references, because Francis Schonken claimed at WP:RS that Bach Cantatas Website is not a reliable source. - We can shorten the hook wherever you like, suggestions:
- ALT1: ... that the Dutch baritone John Bröcheler first sang concerts including world premieres, but was "discovered" for opera in a role of Donzetti's Maria Stuarda alongside Joan Sutherland?
- ALT2: ... that John Bröcheler first sang concerts, but entered an opera career appearing in Donzetti's Maria Stuarda alongside Joan Sutherland at the De Nederlandse Opera?
- ALT3: ... that the opera roles of baritone John Bröcheler include a wealthy Croatian landowner and a male deer? - which is possibly too quirky, and would need to go to the article ... - just that it is the latter role in which I saw him, - also some confession of age ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:23, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1 & ALT2 hooks AGF. Article length of over 2500 characters is good for the new article. Age of 3 days is fine. No copyvio or plagiarism concerns. Reliable sources are used. QPQ has been done. Article is Good To Go.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:26, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
