• In progress. Three large new well researched articles linked as per the main hook. Neutral coverage and QPQs offered by the authors. Victuallers (talk) 22:11, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

1. to Mary Elizabeth Wieting Johnson. Lots of refs and its new enough and its neutral. She was the sole owner of the last version. I know its tricky but "Mary inherited his estate and began managing the opera house." implies that she was not the proprieter of the first version. However I have decided that the hook doesnt refer to their joint ownership but that they were both, at some time, proprietors, thank you Victuallers (talk) 12:36, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
2. to John Wieting Its a GA and its a recent article! Fine. Victuallers (talk) 09:51, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
3. to Wieting Opera House A B class article. Amazing that these three articles share so little common text. Well done you two. I added an image to the nom which the picker may care to consider. Thank you. Victuallers (talk) 10:01, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

• Add something, a line or two, from the legacy section to the lead
  • Sure
• Date format: 2018-06-05 in "References" v. July 28, 2005 in footnotes section. There are a few other instances as well
