5x expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 20:06, 18 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Tamara Milashkina; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- ALT1: ... that the Soviet soprano Tamara Milashkina (pictured) performed alongside her husband Vladimir Atlantov in New York in 1975?

- ALT1 was - of course - not suggested by me ;) - it should not be placed above my signature. It has no music ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:14, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Article is new enough, long enough, adequately sourced. QPQ done, free of close paraphrasing. ALT1 is almost okay, but something needs to be changed: either the hook is changed to say "the Metropolitan Opera" to reflect the article (which would be my preference), or "New York" be added to the article. Article will be approved once that's sorted out. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:24, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- ALT1 makes it sound as if the two left the Soviet Union for the West, like many others. The information that in 1975 there was an official exchange of productions between the companies - then a milestone novelty! - seems worthy to be passed to our readers, imho. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:43, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- If you think two roles are two many - even if these two are probably the most beloved women characters in Russian opera - we can limit it to one, where she and her husband are the lovers (however both ending dead):
- ALT0a: ... that Tamara Milashkina (pictured) and her husband Vladimir Atlantov from the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, appeared with the company at the Metropolitan Opera in 1975 as the lovers in Tchaikovsky's Pique Dame?
- I'm not seeing where ALT1 gives the impression that the two left the Soviet Union? It just says they performed in New York, without giving any impression that they never returned to the Soviet Union, so I'm not sure how anyone could get that interpretation.

- I understand that you don't see it. Take Rudolf Nureyev, for example. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:36, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'm honestly not sure if anyone will get that interpretation either. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

- @AirshipJungleman29: Could you please make adjustments to either the hook or the article so that the discrepancy mentioned above can be resolved? Thanks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:37, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Done Narutolovehinata5. I am also unsure about the confusion surrounding the hook; it says "performed" not "defected". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:02, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. Approving ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:05, 27 January 2024 (UTC)- If this is okay with the promoter, I am also proposing/allowing the following hook, which should be okay as the Met mention has already been proposed in the original hook:
- ALT1a ... that the Soviet soprano Tamara Milashkina (pictured) performed alongside her husband Vladimir Atlantov at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1975?
- I will leave it to the promoter whether or not to go with ALT1 or ALT1a. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- I leave to the promoter to consider that the fact they performed tragic lovers would add interesting to the hook. Also: readers love Tchaikowsky, Swan Lake and such. Why would we mention places and companies, but not music and a dramatic story? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- I am honestly uninterested in the hook which is a singer sang with her husband? Narutolovehinata5 I imagine it is all there is? I will promote it because Narutolovehinata5 approved it. Lightburst (talk) 05:40, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
