Comments

Prose

• The G. D. Sweet Famous Players was a theatre company → "The G. D. Sweet Famous Players was an American theater company" (in American English, the spelling is 'theater')

• My spelling is consistent with the articles found in the category Theatre companies in the United States. I don't get it either. SL93 (talk) 22:45, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
• I changed it, but I'm not so sure. SL93 (talk) 23:24, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Do we know when the company was founded?

• No. None of the sources mention it. SL93 (talk) 23:08, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Sweet moved from → "He moved from"

• Done. SL93 (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• repertory theatre tent shows — try to avoid linking two adjacent words

• Done. SL93 (talk) 23:00, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Sweet was described as "a showman" and "a large, imposing man, given to cigars and pearl-gray hats worn jauntily" — by whom? We'll need inline attribution as to who believes this.

• Done. SL93 (talk) 23:03, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Various times in the prose, "Sweet" should be replace by 'he' or suitable pronoun.

• I think this is done. SL93 (talk) 22:52, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Author Marjorie Holmes wrote, "'Hi, G. D.!', — the comma here after 'wrote' isn't required. Better replace by a colon sign (:)

• Done. SL93 (talk) 22:47, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Several places where comma is just used to introduce a quote should either be removed or replaced by a colon sign (:)

• Done. SL93 (talk) 23:07, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Do we know the name of "Mrs. Sweet"?

• No. I used all of the sources available to me so that I could reach GA, but none of those sources mentions her full name. SL93 (talk) 22:58, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• words like "hell" or "damn" were never used — Why are these particular words used? Were these words common in performances by other companies? Is so, it should be specified.

• I don't know why those words weren't used or if those words were common in performances by other companies. I added the fact so readers would have a better idea of how the performances were. I could remove it. SL93 (talk) 23:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Since this was used in the DYK as well, I'll suggest to keep it. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:05, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

• Abie's Irish Rose and Up in Mabel's Room is linked in the lead but not in the prose.

• Done. SL93 (talk) 22:57, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• "one of the most comical offerings ever presented on the stage." — we'll need a citation immediately after this quote.

• Done. SL93 (talk) 22:57, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Thats it

Images

• Are there no relevant images to add?

• There is an image of George Sweet and another one of his wife, but they are extremely hard to see. SL93 (talk) 23:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

• Fine. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:02, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

References

• p. 65–66 — should be pp.
  • Done. SL93 (talk)
• p. 211–213 — same as above
  • Done. SL93 (talk) 23:12, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Thats it! Small, but nice article. Putting on hold. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 15:11, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Kavyansh.Singh I took care of what I could. SL93 (talk) 23:15, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

I gave it another read and fixed a disambiguation link. Looking good now; Promoting! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:03, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
