Hook is interesting and the information within the body is cited directly. The article is stable and seems to have no any face value issues, very well written! All good here. Arconning (talk) 10:41, 14 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Dab link

@4meter4 There's a dab link on The Primrose Path. I don't think we have an article on a play/musical of that name, so you may want to change it to a red link like The Primrose Path (play) instead. Toadspike [Talk] 15:41, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Toadspike:. Thanks. I'll look at creating an article(s) on the play(s) of this name. It appears there are multiple different dramas with this name. Best.4meter4 (talk) 18:10, 9 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
