Moscow State Jewish Theatre

 * ... that unlike many theatre companies, the Moscow State Jewish Theatre preferred to train their own performers rather than hiring actors and dancers who were already considered professionals?

5x expanded by Jrichers (talk). Self-nominated at 09:10, 23 February 2019 (UTC).

 * Flibirigit, according to DYKcheck, the article does have a 5x expansion from February 17 to now. It shows 8898 prose characters now, but the before count should start at the article version immediately prior to the expansion's beginning on February 17, whenever that was. In this case, the previous edit was September 22, 2018, and the prose character count was 1661, requiring an expansion to 8305, something this article easily accomplishes.

 * How about this alt:
 * ALT1: ... that the Moscow State Jewish Theatre internationally acclaimed production of King Lear in 1935 contained veiled critiques of Stalin's regime? Yoninah (talk) 23:15, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

I have reworded ALT0 into ALT2. Flibirigit (talk) 14:48, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that the Moscow State Jewish Theatre preferred to train its own performers, rather than hiring professional actors and dancers?


 * I am accepting the changes on February 17, and the recent additions by to qualify as the 5x expansion. I will continue with the review now. Flibirigit (talk) 14:50, 20 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, and written in neutral tone. I detected no plagiarism issues, and citations are adequate. The hooks ALT1 and ALT2 are interesting, mentioned inline, and accepted by AGF due to sources behind a paywall. There are no issues with photos, and a QPQ is not required. My only question is with the final sentence in the fourth paragraph of the "Style and practices". It reads: "Soon after the theatre's founding, GOSET had attracted Solomon Mikhoels, who eventually became the leading actor and, after Granowsky defected to the West, artistic director." I'm not sure what the artistic director at the end of the sentence refers to. Flibirigit (talk) 14:57, 20 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol voting keep.svg I figured out the sentence in question. Accepting ALT1 and ALT2 by AGF. Flibirigit (talk) 15:02, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * grammatically, that last sentence works fine. "Artistic director" refers to Mikhoels. Yoninah (talk) 15:43, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
