Prose

 * The G. D. Sweet Famous Players was a theatre company → "The G. D. Sweet Famous Players was an American theater company" (in American English, the spelling is 'theater')
 * My spelling is consistent with the articles found in the category Theatre companies in the United States. I don't get it either. SL93 (talk) 22:45, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I changed it, but I'm not so sure. SL93 (talk) 23:24, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Do we know when the company was founded?
 * No. None of the sources mention it. SL93 (talk) 23:08, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Sweet moved from → "He moved from"
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * repertory theatre tent shows — try to avoid linking two adjacent words
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 23:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Sweet was described as "a showman" and "a large, imposing man, given to cigars and pearl-gray hats worn jauntily" — by whom? We'll need inline attribution as to who believes this.
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 23:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Various times in the prose, "Sweet" should be replace by 'he' or suitable pronoun.
 * I think this is done. SL93 (talk) 22:52, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Author Marjorie Holmes wrote, "'Hi, G. D.!', — the comma here after 'wrote' isn't required. Better replace by a colon sign
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 22:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Several places where comma is just used to introduce a quote should either be removed or replaced by a colon sign
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 23:07, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Do we know the name of "Mrs. Sweet"?
 * No. I used all of the sources available to me so that I could reach GA, but none of those sources mentions her full name. SL93 (talk) 22:58, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * words like "hell" or "damn" were never used — Why are these particular words used? Were these words common in performances by other companies? Is so, it should be specified.
 * I don't know why those words weren't used or if those words were common in performances by other companies. I added the fact so readers would have a better idea of how the performances were. I could remove it. SL93 (talk) 23:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Since this was used in the DYK as well, I'll suggest to keep it. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:05, 6 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Abie's Irish Rose and Up in Mabel's Room is linked in the lead but not in the prose.
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 22:57, 5 January 2022 (UTC)


 * "one of the most comical offerings ever presented on the stage." — we'll need a citation immediately after this quote.
 * Done. SL93 (talk) 22:57, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Thats it

Images

 * Are there no relevant images to add?
 * There is an image of George Sweet and another one of his wife, but they are extremely hard to see. SL93 (talk) 23:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Fine. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:02, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
