Interesting story, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I think your best bet for a hook would be to quote the headline about the $ heart balm. The image is licensed and would be a good illustration of the period. In the article, how is she an opera singer when there's no evidence of any performance? I suggest that you repeat her name for each section, because readers may come from the TOC without context. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
One more: why is the poison capital? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:48, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: I made the changes you suggested, and per the reference I called her an "aspiring" opera singer. Regarding the heart balm - I feel bad because it feels like I am mocking her to say she needed balm/ointment for her heart. Hopefully someone can come up with a hook. Perhaps @Theleekycauldron: can be called upon to massage out a hook? Bruxton (talk) 17:56, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'll wait a bit. To mention suing only seems not much nicer than heart balm, imho. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:25, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think Bruxton did a great job with ALT0; simple, devoid of quirk, yet inviting and hooky. We could even not mention that he promised. I'd be iffy about a "heart balm" hook; quotes are nice because it enables us to use catchy language unavailable to wikivoice, but I think it's worth pointing out that calling the lawsuit "heart balm" strikes me as sexist, and it's not very catchy in the first place. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 19:44, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What that man did was sexist, but as you like it.What do you think of adding "actress". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:51, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
