•  Reviewing... ~huesatlum 04:28, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
• Other problems: - The quotation from the source says "volume of pearls from the heart-fountain of one of our sweetest American poetesses" -- the article should either use the full quote or use ... in place of the omitted portion (this doesn't affect the quote in the hook, however).

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Everything checks out, except for one small quibble with a quote. I think ALT2 and ALT3 are the most interesting of the hooks. ~huesatlum 02:04, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

@HueSatLum: good eye! Fixed the quote in the article, thanks for letting me know. I don't have strong opinions on hooks but concur with your suggestion. RexSueciae (talk) 02:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Good to go, then. ~huesatlum 04:13, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
