ALT1: ... that André Previn composed the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra "Anne-Sophie" for the violinist (pictured) who became his wife after the premiere?
Women's month, give her a name, and a face. Previn died yesterday, is pictured In the news. Should we wait, or process this speedily for the connection? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:37, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
I've had a DYK for women's month queued for a week now. Might as well get the ball rolling on it; by the time this gets reviewed and put through prep / queue / main page, the news item will probably be long gone. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:39, 1 March 2019 (UTC)


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
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: ALT1 is a little long winded to me and not very hooky. So striking and approving ALT0, which, IMO, is good. A fine new article and a reasonable picture. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:16, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! The original is fine with the image, but only one of eight hooks gets an image. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:06, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
