 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. Hook is neutral, cited, and the proper length. QPQ done. - Hirolovesswords (talk) 00:00, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but the last paragraph needs a citation per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 10:51, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you cite this? I can't find anything in online sources. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:55, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * ,, sorry but I do not understand which is the "last paragraph" that need a citation. May you please copy it? Elisa.rolle (talk) 12:02, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * ,, I see it's the Mann book, I will add the page. Elisa.rolle (talk) 12:05, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I just have one question about the choice of hooks. Since she said it herself, I think ALT1 is best, but using her actual quote makes it unclear who "Miss Hepburn" is. Could we write:
 * ALT1a: ... that Laura Barney Harding once declared she was Katharine Hepburn's "husband"?
 * Or without quotes:
 * ALT1b: ... that Laura Barney Harding once declared she was Katharine Hepburn's husband? Yoninah (talk) 15:26, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I like ALT1b, myself. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:15, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Me, too. Let's go with that. Restoring tick per Hirolovesswords' review. Yoninah (talk) 16:40, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
