  • I have checked all sources; I have cited some sentences to verify the whole article. All except one are reliable and verifiable. You have used IMDB entry of Joan & Melissa as an inline reference, but IMDB is user-submitted and may be unreliable source but a good external link for a future article Joan & Melissa. I wonder if there is another source, or possibly one is enough and other is unreliable. --George Ho (talk) 20:46, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I've found an additional reference and removed the ref to the Grammys, hope it's all OK now. Thanks for the feedback! Slightly off topic, but in the process of putting together individualised red carpet by year pages, I have found pages on IMDB which copy and paste the text of news articles that are no longer available/subscription-only on news archives, with the dates/authors/original source cited. Would those be considered unreliable sources too or does the fact that necessary info is cited on a normally unreliable site make it more acceptable? Mabalu (talk) 21:46, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
  • IMDB is unreliable per (essay) WP:IMDB, even with a list of search results; if you find news articles from IMDB, find the original source of an article. For example, if article is written by Hollywood Reporter and then posted on IMDB, do not use IMDB's URL. Instead, search an article's title to find official version of it if available. You know what I'm saying? --George Ho (talk) 00:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Anyway, the hook is well-sourced. Article is well-lengthed, well-written, and well-sourced. If no alternative hooks are needed, if IMDB is not used as a citation, and if no further objections are made, this is then a good to go. --George Ho (talk) 00:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
