- ALT1 ... that soprano Margarete Luise Schick (pictured) was a soloist at the coronation of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor with Mozart conducting?
This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. QPQ has been done. I tend to think your hooks are too long, with too many facts crammed in. What do you think of ALT1? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:28, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- I think that someone who knows opera gets much more of an idea of what she sang (and was known for, - Zerlina may be one of the better known roles even to those who don't know much opera, because of the seduction duet with Don Giovanni) than from just an exceptional event, but thank you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:54, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
At 220 characters, the hook is 20 over the upper limit. Nor has the more concise ALT1 been approved, so changing the tick. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:52, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- What makes you think that ALT1 was not approved?
- *ALT2: ... that soprano Margarete Luise Schick (pictured), who performed roles such as Gluck's Iphigenie and Mozart's Zerlina with noted diction and acting, sang for the coronation of Joseph II? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:21, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, a hook cannot be approved by the same person who proposed it; Cwmhiraeth proposed ALT1, so cannot also approve it. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:15, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

- I'll give ALT2 a tick because it is basically the same hook as the original but within length. This does not mean that I do not think ALT1 a better hook for the non opera-buff however. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: will you mind if I promote ALT1 this time? It really is hookier for non-opera buffs. Yoninah (talk) 18:02, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- I don't mind. Four of these ladies, all requested by project opera for women's month, are waiting, - in a way I don't care with which hook any more. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:06, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. Restoring tick for ALT1, which was indirectly approved by Cwmhiraeth; I'm IAR'ing here on verification for Mozart being the conductor, because only Cwmhiraeth and I are promoting hooks nowadays. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:13, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt, Cwmhiraeth FYI, there was a basic error in this hook. The cited source says the emperor in question was Leopold II, not Joseph II. —howcheng {chat} 15:54, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
