Sophie Fedorovitch
edit- ... that Sir Frederick Ashton called ballet designer Sophie Fedorovitch "not only my dearest friend but my greatest artistic collaborator and adviser"?
Created by Edwardx (talk), Pigsonthewing (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 13:04, 27 June 2013 (UTC).
Lovely quote, tidy and well referenced article. I believe this was created as a result of WP:ASHTON. Article was within 5 days at nomination, length sufficient. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 09:31, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the article is not ready for DYK. The first three paragraphs under Career need to be in a more logical (chronological?) order, so I've revised them accordingly and combined them into one, removing repetitive content. The last two Career paragraphs are unsourced and need inline citations. (DYK standard is a minimum of one inline citation per paragraph.) Also, some of the wording is not encyclopedic in tone: the "Surprisingly" in the now-second paragraph is puzzling (she was, after all, an established painter before she and Ashton met), as is why this sentence about painting and design is in a paragraph about confidants. A copyedit would also be useful. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
It looks like the article has been extensively revised, dealing with tone and substance, and the sourcing issues addressed. I don't feel comfortable reviewing it after doing some work on it, so I'd appreciate it if another reviewer could check to make sure it is indeed ready for approval. Thanks.

- The article now meets the DYK criteria of newness and length and the hook is sourced with an inline citation. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:40, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
