  • Review: length is adequate (2001 chars "readable prose size"), article created recently (20 December), no policy concerns, hook is interesting and well formatted, QPQ done, no image to review. The referenced source reads "the play was cleaned up and de-ethnicized by Hollywood in 1938." There might be more out there to expand on this, in terms of anti-semitic undertones, but that is not really needed for this DYK submission. Gaff (talk) 02:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
  • The second paragraph under Writing Career needs at least one cite, per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 10:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Good point. It is easily fixable. (I will leave it up to somebody else to fix it). The reference can be found in the last column of the NYT obit (subscription needed, which I have if somebody needs me to do the leg work). All is there except the semi-autobiographical aspect of Hellman's writing, which is easily referenced as well. Once those issues are addressed, should by GTG. Sorry I missed this, but I am relatively new with DYK reviews. Overall, the article could use tighter sourcing. Gaff (talk) 11:22, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
  • I've added that cite as well as a few others. —Offenbach (talk) 05:15, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
  • Thank you. All cites in place, including the inline cite for the hook fact. Restoring tick based on Gaff's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:55, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
