  • ... that singer Joni Mitchell gave hours of her time at home in Laurel Canyon, sharing her thoughts with music critic Jacoba Atlas in 1970? Source: Whitall, Susan (2018). Joni on Joni: Interviews and Encounters with Joni Mitchell. Chicago Review Press. pp. 39–40. ISBN 9780914090441.

  •   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.

  • 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 to rock critic. Yoninah (talk) 18:17, 7 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
