New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. I came across your note on the DYK talk page about running this on April 26 in commemoration of Shakespeare's baptism. The hook seems very busy and the part about Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet is a bit lost in it. What do you think about writing a different hook about the unique setting of the ballet in the 3 Italian political eras? Yoninah (talk) 12:48, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I think it is big news in certain high class circles that after 30 years the Joffrey Ballet had changed which choreography it performs to Prokofiev score. However, if that upsets the "rhythm" of DYK, I'll have to make a change. I'll see what I can do. I also think there may be a policy against using plots for hooks. However, keep in mind that it is actually somewhat unusual for plots to be sourced. I only do so in some cases when I am producing a plot for a work I have never seen myself and want other wikipedians to be able to correct my text.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:25, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

- Note that I have eliminated both words that repeated in the hook, which probably makes it less busy.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:33, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
