... that ballet dancer William Bracewell had portrayed princes, Romeo, Louis XIV, a caterpillar and a salamander? Source: prince in Nutcracker, prince in Swan Lake, Romeo, Louis XIV, caterpillar, salamander
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Hartsfield's Landing
- Comment: It's a human prince that was transformed to a salamander, but it sounds more interesting this way. I might come up with other hooks.

Interesting life and work, on fine sources. The hook works, but my take would be a bit different, because princes seem to be common for ballet dancers, and I'd sort them by "size". I have no idea why "had portrayed".

ALT0a: ... that ballet dancer William Bracewell has portrayed Louis XIV, Romeo, a salamander and a caterpillar?

I'd find a hint of first Welsh at the Royal Ballet in London also interesting, but understand not to mention that as in the future.

I structured ALT0 to roles most associate with ballet dancers to the least, but I'm also fine with ALT0a. I tweaked both hooks to link Romeo to the version he danced. I don't think it's appropriate to say he's the first Welsh principal since it won't be official until September (I think). You haven't tick or sign the review.

Thank you, and of course we could only say "designated" but - as said above - understand not to do that. Sorry about having rushed above, - now properly approved and signed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
