Just some copyedits and one pending minor, likely easy to answer, question about ref 41. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.
Copy changes
[edit]Lead
[edit]- to appear in original 2011 staging missing "the"?
Background
[edit]- Deliverance, (Spring/Summer 2004) Remove this comma
- The two met during their student years Leane was trained as a classical goldsmith who worked in traditional formats, but McQueen encouraged him to branch out into other materials and shapes Missing semicolon after "years"
Concept
[edit]- the fourteenth collection by British fashion designer Alexander McQueen for his eponymous fashion house You have already introduced McQueen in the above section, so the bolded part is unneeded.
This is weird - not sure why you're seeing any bold, but that part has never been bolded for me and I don't see any diffs of anyone else adding or removing any.- I understand what you meant now that you've fixed it lol
Runway show
[edit]- recently-deceased should not be hyphenated.
- After Look 53, the lights went down and there was yes, after "down", there should be a comma (WP:CINS)
- McQueen's "brevity gave me room to manoeuvre." quote of a sentence fragment should have the period outside. Check for further issues of this kind; I see one in the next L2 section.
- Fixed this one, but if you're talking about the quote that starts with "it's almost like it forces you...", the part with the period is a separate sentence, so the period goes inside
Reception
[edit]- In her biography, Alexander McQueen: The Life and the Legacy, Judith Watt biography Remove the second "biography"
- Lol oops
- She wrote that "some pronounced it his best show", but disagreed; Remove comma (CinS)
Sourcing and spot checks
[edit]- 15: Thomas p. 286: isolation and obscurity quote, snow machine trouble (actually p. 287), Winsett/Blanchett/Jones/Massive Attack/Mirren attendance, McQueen's mother (also 287), and rarity of ovation in fashion.
- 17: Watt p. 156: "coat cut with a fantail bird silhouette"
- 21: Cannot view the book preview, but it is in the right section. AGF tick.
- 37: No preview of the cited volume.
- 41: Preview seems to check out. Is the White Witch the same as the Ice Queen mentioned?
- The White Witch is never referred to as the Ice Queen in any of the Narnia books, but there's also no other character who even remotely resembles an ice-wielding female ruler. When you Google "Narnia Ice Queen", Jadis/the White Witch is the inevitable result. It's clear who the reviewer is referring to, they've just misremembered the character's proper name.
Earwig flags only a long quote and the banal "on February 23, 1999, at Gatliff Road Warehouse in London".
