- Thank you for this wonderful article, Ashleyyoursmile. I must say that the proposed hook is rather underwhelming. Serbian Wikipedia claims that she was still performing at age 100, which would be far more interesting in my opinion. Surtsicna (talk) 09:50, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Surtsicna, thank you for the comment. Unfortunately, I cannot find a reference that supports the claim. Here's an alternate hook though.

- Let me know what you think of ALT1. If you can think of a better hook, please feel free to propose one. Ashleyyoursmile! 10:22, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- I have found references, including [5] and [6]. I would suggest something like the following:
ALT2: ... that Serbian actress Branka Veselinović (pictured), whose career started in 1938, still performs aged 102?
Surtsicna (talk) 11:01, 20 June 2021 (UTC)- Thank you very much, Surtsicna. ALT2 is great and I have added the hook statement and references to the article. Feel free to strike out the other hooks. Ashleyyoursmile! 12:51, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Surtsicna, thank you for the comment. Unfortunately, I cannot find a reference that supports the claim. Here's an alternate hook though.
- The article is brand new (created today), long enough (c. 2,300 characters), neutral, well-sourced, and free of any copyright issues (which I can attest to as a Serbo-Croatian speaker). QPQ done. All that is left is to approve the hook, which might not be appropriate for me to do given that I proposed it :) Surtsicna (talk) 13:23, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
Nice work and collaboration and the key fact is referenced. ALT2 for the main page. Thanks for Women in Red contribution. I added Surtsicna to the DYK contributors. Victuallers (talk) 10:09, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
