  • Comment: ALT2 is my least favourite because it relies on the fact the reader knows the shows... and it's easy to miss the joke

    • oh my goodness, i'm so sorry about that! it totally slipped my mind. I'll finish up the review right now. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 17:35, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
• p.s. i haven't seen Elena of Avalor—what's the joke? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 17:35, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
• @Pamzeis: New enough, long enough, neutral, plagiarism-free. Sourcing question: Fumero described the experience as a "rollercoaster". is the quote due for inclusion if the only source is Adweek? For copyediting purposes, there are too many dashes in the sentence that begins Reception towards Fumero's performance was positive; Collider lauded her comedic timing, drive, and vulnerability. ALT0 and ALT3 are approved as cited and interesting, and I've suggested an ALT4 and ALT5. ALT2 doesn't seem interesting enough. A QPQ has been done- so almost there! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 18:28, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

  Well, it's really the differences between the two shows that's meant to make ALT2 interesting but it really isn't great. ALT4 is kinda dull to me as it doesn't go into why they thought they were gonna get fired; ALT5 is OK, except she doesn't say that it was a B99 director, as far as I know. I've fixed the dash issue, but IDK about the rollercoaster one. Due and undue weight is more of a GA standard, IMO, so I won't touch it. I really only added that bit in there to provide some sort of connection to Fumero in regards to these events.​ Pamzeis (talk) 01:32, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

  @Pamzeis: reading through the source for ALT5, it's not explicit, but I think it's a fair inference given how long she'd been on the show by then. And i'd push back on the idea that WP:DUE isn't a part of the DYK criteria, it's folded under NPOV. I see where you're coming from, though. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 01:39, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

  Can you further explain why you think it's undue? This article is about Fumero so, at least to me, it's obvious that Fumero's opinion would be important. Reading its article, Adweek seems to be an RS, despite its previous reputation as a gossip site (forgive and forget?). Pamzeis (talk) 05:16, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

  It's not the end of the world, I suppose. reviewer needed for ALT5, but we are good to go with ALT0 and ALT3 :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 06:51, 15 May 2022 (UTC) just one more time, NINE-NINE!
