Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- The hooks refer to "Jerry Epstein" but the article is titled "Jerome Epstein". If Jerry is the most common name used to refer to him, should we move the article to "Jerry Epstein"?
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
The hooks are really great. Only problem to be looked at is the Jerry-Jerome issue. I wish the article was a bit longer with more information about his post-Chaplin years. A filmography would be good too. Vladimir.copic (talk) 00:33, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Vladimir.copic:, thanks for the review. Fixed the hooks to read as Jerome vice Jerry. The former is what he is most often credited as and has 3x the number of search results ("name" + Chaplin). Also added a filmography.
Great. I've added citations for the filmography (and removed those I could only find cited to IMDB per WP:IMDB - please re-add if you find sources for them). All good to go now. Vladimir.copic (talk) 02:39, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
