QPQ: 
Overall: 
New enough (created 1 Jan), well over the length minimum at nearly 1500 words, EW 22.5% due to a source title, hook is interesting and stated in article. Could you provide a quote/snippet from Berkeley 1997 to support the second clause of hook? NYT obit verifies first clause. QPQ pending the outcome of a broader themed set discussion, otherwise looks good to go. Zzz plant (talk) 01:52, 8 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review! The first QPQs will come through tomorrow (I volunteered three for each hook, as I think you saw). This is a quote from the Berkeley piece:
- "But, accusing educators of fostering students' illusions about their ability to succeed in professional theatre, Althea Hunt articulated the opinion of several who urged that teachers dissuade students from planning to enter the profession"
