 * Symbol question.svg Where does the "effortless dancing style of celestial beauty" quote come from, because I can't find it in the supplied source? Gatoclass (talk) 18:06, 3 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, it is not a quote from the book but a general observation. I have removed the quote but the text could also be deleted if it is not acceptable.-- Nvvchar . 05:52, 5 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I am still struggling to source the following sentence: She wore a voluminous and bright glitzy skirt and together with the lighting effect presented an effortless dancing style of celestial beauty. The provided source says nothing about Adele's costume or the lighting, and "effortless dancing style of celestial beauty" appears to be pure WP:OR. There is actually only one statement about Dumilatre in the source and that is the one already quoted in the hook, that "she looked so ethereal as to be almost transparent". So somebody needs to either rework the above sentence about costumes, lighting and "celestial beauty" to conform with the source, or provide a different source, or just delete the unsourced statements.

 * Pity, I kind of liked the image conjured, but this is an encyclopedia. I will complete the review of this tomorrow if someone else doesn't get there first. Gatoclass (talk) 16:17, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
