Jerome and Schwarz

- Comment: The Alt1 hook fact has the advantage of being viewable in google books and not being behind a paywall. The original hook has the advantage of better suiting the use of the image.

5x expanded by 4meter4 (talk). Self-nominated at 17:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Jean Schwartz; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Interesting substantial bio on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the original hook much better. The image is licensed and almost a most, because it shows the period. If not taken we should have some indication of when this plays in the wording, but I hope to see it pictured. I am open to include the Chinatown song as an example in the hook, for a hint at the style. - Minot things for the article: I don't think that "theme song" needs quotation marks. I'd prefer to see him first married a second time, and then die. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we don't need the full names in the caption but I would like to indicate who's who, such as "Jerome and Schwartz (r.)". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I made most of the suggested changes. I was unable to locate a source stating when his second marriage occurred, and the only reference I could find to his second wife was in his obituary which only mentions that she survived him. Understandably, his first marriage was discussed more in sources given who she was. Thanks for the review.4meter4 (talk) 21:06, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
