Paulina de la Mora
... that the drawling voice of fictional character Paulina de la Mora is seen to be a socioeconomic commentary on the fresa stereotype?Source: [1] (in Spanish)
- Reviewed: The Idea of Pakistan
- Comment: I tried to come up with a hook about the critical reception but they just became full of quotes; if alt0 isn't good and someone can think of a better one, please suggest it!

Interesting character, on neatly presented sources, Good article, no copyvio obvious. If you insist I'll approve the hook, but I'd prefer it simpler, without "socioeconomic" and "fresa" which I had to look up, - I'd rather want to know context such as Mexican, TV (not a book). It may be just me, but I find her speech, and it being imitated, the most unusual thing. - I should probably not criticise a GA, but find too much detail of plot in the lead, and in that section, a mix of tenses. Is it right that appearances needs no references, like a plot section? Excuse questions that may seem silly, - I'm not familiar with the topic, but ready to learn. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks :) Yes, appearances is a plot section on fictional character articles. The mix of tenses is presumably going between 'in fiction' and the fact the show has ended (fiction is present, real past is past, as normal). Socioeconomic is a common English word, just social+economic (i.e. there is no simpler word). Taking your notes on the explanation, the hook could be:
- ALT0a ... that the drawling voice of television character Paulina de la Mora is seen to be a socioeconomic commentary on the Mexican stereotype of high-class young women?

if that's what you want to say about her. Promoter: you can use the fresa wording from the original, if you think I'm the only one who had to look it up. Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:57, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- I don't understand this comment - didn't you say above that you agree her voice is the most interesting thing? Kingsif (talk) 16:01, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- yes, so? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:06, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- I thought we were done, but if you have more time, the sentence with the tenses which remain a secret to me is "She was once married to José María Riquelme before she transitioned, but reunites with the now María José after her father, Ernesto, is arrested." Besides the tenses, it's not 100% clear (to me) who the "she" is who transitioned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:10, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see any mention of a "drawl" in the article, only a critical review that calls her voice "languid". The voice clip also doesn't sound drawling. Do you have a source for this description, or perhaps use another adjective? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:10, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: How about the current hook with 'drawling' replaced by 'languid'? Kingsif (talk) 00:13, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Kingsif: Yes, but I'd prefer not to put the word in scare quotes. Here are some synonyms: inactive, lazy, indifferent, lethargic, weary, sluggish, inert, uninterested, listless, unenthusiastic, languorous, lackadaisical, torpid, spiritless. Maybe "languorous"?
