Overall: 
@Whispyhistory: Very interesting and inspiring story, it seems like! The article and its sources look alright, as your QPQ submission does. I would just make an observation about the hook: you should clarify better that O'Riordan attended her final therapy session by dressing up as Mrs Incredible, just so we can avoid confusion. On a side note (although it's not really inherent to this hook), I think it would be nice to add a few more details about this instance on the article itself, as well, since the source you provided explains quite well why she chose Mrs Incredible as a symbol of her fight with cancer. Anyway, great job! Oltrepier (talk) 13:50, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks @Oltrepier:. I have adjusted the article as per your suggestion, but feel free to reword. It was 2018 not 2016, so amended. Children attending their treatments appear to have cheered up watching her, but the hook was going to be too long. Maybe Philafrenzy might be able to think of one. Otherwise here is ALT1a.
- ALT1a ... that in 2018, breast surgeon Liz O'Riordan completed breast cancer treatment dressed as Mrs Incredible? Whispyhistory (talk) 16:03, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
@Whispyhistory: To be honest, I think ALT1a looks good, so let's keep it. Thank you for your swift response! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 16:21, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- The alt is good but maybe it should be "attended" or "arrived for" or some such as presumably she didn't have the treatment wearing the costume? "arrived for breast cancer treatment" seems OK. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:36, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you.. @Philafrenzy:, @Oltrepier:....Whispyhistory (talk) 03:17, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- ALT1b ... that in 2018, breast surgeon Liz O'Riordan arrived for her breast cancer treatment dressed as Mrs Incredible?
- @Whispyhistory and Philafrenzy: Yeah, it sounds good, too! : ) Oltrepier (talk) 07:49, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
