- Thank you for the reminder. I have my hands full this week, but please let me get around to the QPQ tomorrow. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 05:36, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- CurryTime7-24, the expectation at DYK is that a QPQ will be done within seven days of being notified that it is needed; that will be tomorrow. Please be sure to have your QPQ done by then. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:35, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reminder. I've been dealing with some real-life matters here and, as a consequence, plain forgot about this. Let me do this ASAP. —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 19:06, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
Full review needed now that valid QPQ has been supplied. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:30, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Regarding ALT0, the source translates as "according to rumour" she was courted by the two conductors, if that is the correct translation the hook would need to be modified. Gatoclass (talk) 03:25, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching that. Yes, "по слухам" means "according to rumors". Modified hook below:
ALT3: that the pianist Sofiya Vakman was rumored to have been courted by the conductors Nikolai Rabinovich and Eduard Grikurov, before she decided to marry the latter? —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 03:50, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Full review needed now that ALT3 has been provided. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Approving
ALT1. To my mind, ALT1 is the most interesting hook; the other two seem less interesting from the perspective of someone not familiar with Russian music. ALT3 also reads a bit oddly (rumoured to be courted by her future husband?) although I understand why the change was made and it does align with the source. P.S. I don't speak Russian, but using Google Translate I'm confident the sources check out. Cheers,
