  • appears straight forward, enough English sources, hook in article and cited, QPQ done, new enough, long enough, no copy issues Whispyhistory (talk) 08:29, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this because the image is very good, but the hook is borderline in-universe. What do you think about saying more about her, like:
  • ALT1: ... that Mongolian-Chinese actress Yong Mei (pictured) spent seven hours talking with a mother who had lost her only child to prepare for her award-winning role in So Long, My Son? Yoninah (talk) 20:54, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I don't think the original can be considered in-universe as it mainly focuses on her award, but I do like your hook better. Thanks for the suggestion. @Whispyhistory: Would you mind reviewing the new hook? Thanks. -Zanhe (talk) 04:50, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
  • @Zanhe:, @Yoninah:. Approving ALT1 as is in article and sourced. However, 7 hours with a mother who has lost a child may not seem like a long time to gain insight if you ask someone who has lost a child. It is ok in article as she originally scheduled 2 hours. I prefer proposed hook. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:58, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
