 * Symbol question.svg Interesting bio on good sources. I find the hooks too long and would drop the name of the college which is just a stub:
 * ALT2: * ... that Elin Rombo (pictured) made her stage debut at Stockholm's Royal Swedish Opera as Christa in Janáček's The Makropulos Affair while studying?
 * Please note how project opera normally writes: if an opera has a link, only the composer's last name, - a link to the composer only when the work has no link. Please add composers' last names in the article accordingly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:54, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Done.BabbaQ (talk) 23:09, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Done? I added quite a few more. I also replaced "has a role" by some other expressions. The image is nice and licensed, but not great in small size. How about a crop? Or using the other one, with a different hook? Otherwise: all Swedish sources accepted AGF.

 * ALT3: ... that Elin Rombo (pictured) became the first to receive the Schymberg Scholarship award, a scholarship established in memory of Hjördis Schymberg?
 * ALT4: ... that Elin Rombo (pictured receiving the award) became the first to receive the Schymberg Scholarship award, a scholarship established in memory of Hjördis Schymberg?
 * I have added two new hooks that refers to the award that she won in the image. I guess it could work.BabbaQ (talk) 17:40, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Nice, but I think fewer people will know Schymberg than Janacek. I also think that describing what she did is more impressive than that she got an award without saying for what. I struck ALT4 as tricky: you can't say "the award" before you spoke about an award. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:58, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we can let a third party review the alt hooks. I like your suggested hook as well. BabbaQ (talk) 19:24, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps as well, the second image in the article can be used if one of the hooks are approved.BabbaQ (talk) 19:28, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It doesn't go well with them, - how about a hook mentioning that piece? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:37, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


 * ALT5: ... that Elin Rombo (pictured) played Sister Blanche in Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites in a 2011 production at the Royal Swedish Opera?
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New review requested. ALT2 appears to have been approved, but  has requested a review for Alts 3 and 4, and  has provided a new ALT5. North America1000 12:20, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to review ALTs 3, 4, and 5. Someone has struck ALT4. ALT3 doesn't seem so interesting to an audience outside of Sweden, but ALT5 is interesting, especially with the striking image. Most of the hook information appears in the source, except for the part about it being at the Royal Swedish Opera. All I can find on the source page is the Royal Opera of Copenhagen. Please advise.

 * I have added another source that hopefully is good enough. It definitely confirms her participation in that particular opera. BabbaQ (talk) 21:54, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you. Foreign-language hook ref AGF (though I checked it with Google Translate) and cite inline. Image is freely licensed. ALT5 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:11, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I have also opened up ALT 4 again. I think it is quite interesting. But I leave it up to the closing user for this DYK to decide.BabbaQ (talk) 22:36, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Well ... that's nice of you, considering I didn't review it. Here it is: Foreign-language hook ref AGF (but verified through Google Translate) and cited inline. Image is freely licensed. ALT4 also good to go. Not my choice, but I'll leave it to prep promoter to decide. Yoninah (talk) 22:43, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with you that ALT5 plus the image would be really nice for inclusion at DYK. But atleast some options are good. Cheers.BabbaQ (talk) 22:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I have promoted Alt5 with picture, but without 2011 in the hook - the year is only stated in a caption and no source, not is it mentioned in the sources listed by her performances, the hook is correct and good without the year so I figured it was okay to remove it.
