- Comment: The one source only uses her last name, so I included a second source which has her full name.
5x expanded by 4meter4 (talk). Self-nominated at 22:29, 4 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Carolina White; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Interesting life, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook is acceptable, but I am open to other suggestions. Readers may rather be interested in her doing silent film with Caruso, or Minnie, even if it wasn't the premiere. The image is licensed, and will attract more readers than any hook. Project opera recommends infobox person instead of the somewhat restless "musical performer", please see guidelines. There's sandwiching of text by the first image, but for DYK that's no problem. Perhaps place it a bit later, and right? - One external link looks strange, but again: no problem for DYK. - Thank you for the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:13, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
- adding more awake: as usually, I prefer to supply composers, especially for little-known operas as Segreto, and especially for a Main page audience ignorant of opera culture who may never have heard of Figaro but Mozart. The Segredo article is not our greatest thing to show: expand perhaps? Or a different hook? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:57, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
- I added the composer's name into the hook per your suggestion. I will work on the opera article to improve it; but really none of this is essential in terms of reviewing the hook as the opera itself is not the target article of the DYK review, and the hook is fine. Please don't confuse the review by adding in extra hoops not required in a DYK review. 4meter4 (talk) 15:24, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
