This article is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Did you want it to appear on 26 May? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:02, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. The day would be good, but no must, as it's not mentioned in the hook. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:15, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this. I feel the word "principal" makes the hook less clear; it should be with the orchestra's principal violinist, harpist, etc.
Could we write the hook this way:- ALT0a:
... that the Triple Concerto No. 2 composed by Dmitri Smirnov for the centenary concert of the London Symphony Orchestra featured violin, harp, and double bass solos?Yoninah (talk) 18:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
- Well, it misses a key feature: that the orchestra's principals got a chance to show off, not some external soloists, as usual. There are two reason not to say "the orchestra's principal ...": to avoid repetition of "orchestra", and to keep it short. Wording help welcome. ALT0a: "featured solos" is an unusual wording. In a piano concerto, you wouldn't say "features piano solos" which sounds like occasional solo passages, while the soloist is the key part in a concerto. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:28, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
- OK, so how about adding "the":

- Nice! I added (pictured). I hope the image will be taken, as a little tribute in memory of a a good Wikipedian. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:52, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
