 * Symbol confirmed.svg All checks out according to the various tests. Good hook - I can't see a better one. This is only my second review, so someone else should have a look please. Edwardx (talk) 23:12, 24 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Thank you, new reviewer! Second opinion requested, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:23, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. However, I don't see the quoted words in the source. I rewrote the expression without quotes, but perhaps you want to do some tweaking of the article and the hook? Yoninah (talk) 23:36, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The quote is from page 2 of the reference. What do you suggest, reference it separately? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:10, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. I thought the L.A. Times piece ended on p. 1, my bad. I restored the quote marks to the article. I think the hook would benefit from using the "uniforms recycled from Hollywood" quote rather than the "historically appropriate costumes" quote, though. What do you think?

 * I think that it may be attractive but doesn't show his work so much ;) - Anyway:

 * Symbol confirmed.svg No problem, I can live with the original hook, too :). Hook ref verified. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 12:42, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
