  • ... that Victoria Regina was nominated for seven Emmy Awards, winning as "program of the year" and for Julie Harris's performance as Queen Victoria? Two sources: This one (announcing Emmy nominations and noting: "The Queen Victoria biography scored in seven categories.") and this one ("'Victoria Regina' and its star, Julie Harris, received television's highest awards last night. The drama about England's Queen and the actress who portrayed her were among the recipients of Emmys ... 'Victoria Regina' also was named 'program of the year.'")

  • Review:
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

QPQ: No - Not done
Overall: The section where it's said the television production was based on the 1934 play could use an inline citation, as the closest one does not make that information apparent. The article's lede could also be expanded with information about its reception and awards. The hook, albeit interesting, could use a clarification this is about a single episode of the Hallmark Hall of Fame series. Awaiting QPQ to approve. Isabelle 🔔 22:32, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Isabelle Belato: Thank you for your comments. I have now added the QPQ and edited the article based on your suggestions. I prefer not to add more details to the hook consistent with the "shorter is better" guideline. Cbl62 (talk) 03:13, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Seems fine after the changes and QPQ. Thanks, Cbl62! Isabelle 🔔 03:24, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Yoninah: Personally, I felt that the "program of the year" honor (best program out of hundreds produced that year) was the most extraordinary fact. Maybe that could be combined with the makeup along this line:
  • Sure thing! Concerning the technical details, it seems to still be fine, with the hook well sourced and properly explained in the target page. It's definitely more interesting that the previous hook. My only recommendation would be to add the year of production to the hook. What do you think, Yoninah and Cbl62?

  • Alt 2: ... that in 1961 a makeup artist used a rubber mask and fake nose to age Julie Harris by 60 years in the Emmy-winning "program of the year" Victoria Regina?
I had avoided the year as fewer people will click on a 1961 production -- a shame since so many great productions were made in the Golden Era of Television. If the year is needed, I suggest inserting it as follows: ... that a makeup artist used a rubber mask and fake nose to age Julie Harris by 60 years in the 1961 Emmy-winning "program of the year" Victoria Regina?
