- New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done.
- Please link the films in the Filmography section.
- You did a lot of research here, and it shows. But I was expecting something totally different after reading the hook; I thought Joni Mitchell was donating her time to a halfway house or something. If you would like to use this hook angle, please rewrite it; maybe put the bolded subject first. Alternatively, you have a lot of good detail to fashion a hook from in the article.

- ALT1:
... that music critic Jacoba Atlas reviewed many concerts including a "disastrous appearance" by Joe Cocker?Atlas wrote, " Joe Cocker opened and closed at the Roxy Theatre and hopefully the talent that delighted so many people a few years back won't be thoroughly buried by this disastrous appearance."[1] - ALT2:
... that music critic Jacoba Atlas interviewed Joni Mitchell and Jimi Hendrix at their homes in the hills above Los Angeles?Whitall book[2] and Roby book.[3] - ALT3:
... that Jacoba Atlas and Pat Mitchell were writing partners in 1990, then ten years later they were vice president and president of PBS?This PBS ref covers the hook.
- Here are three more hooks, Yoninah... Let's see how these work. I added refs and one wikilink to the filmography, along with some other minor expansion. Binksternet (talk) 17:57, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you. ALT1 has potential, though I don't see source verification for "many concerts"; each group of performers that she interviewed ends with a citation to the last one. I guess you could get around it by writing:
- ALT1a: ... that among rock critic Jacoba Atlas's many concert reviews was a "disastrous appearance" by Joe Cocker?
- I would also change
music critic
torock critic

- Let's do it – 1a. Good stuff! Binksternet (talk) 19:00, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you. ALT1a hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT1a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:21, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
