• • QPQ: Wieting Opera House (2 of 3)
• New enough. Long enough. Neutral enough. No copyright vio, Earwig only picks up the direct quote from her 1984 statement of public protest which is properly cited. QPQ is done. Subject is fascinating! ALT1 is the best bet for a hook. (In the original hook, there is no surprise in seeing "pacifist," "Peace Corps," and "Peace Award" in the same sentence...whereas in ALT1 the reader wonders whom is she sharing the award with, and "nuclear submarine base" is always eye-catching.) As for further recommendations...it might be a quick job to fill in the Infobox some more, or create a separate section for "Written works", and the "NATO generals" fact could be included if you can find more concrete detail on it from a reliable source. Congratulations, great contribution from a new editor. Cielquiparle (talk) 18:29, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
