Symbol confirmed.svg Ready to go, with one caveat. In the article I've replaced "based upon" with "inspired by" as I believe it more accurately reflects the source and the situation, since the ballet makes significant changes to the story, including making him a tailor. And since that chef has his own article, I suggest a hook like ...Frederick Ashton's first ballet, A Tragedy of Fashion, was inspired chef François Vatel, who killed himself when his fish delivery was late?

  • Thanks for the review. The change to "inspired by" is fine. I've adopted that and will make other changes to the article text, to minimise repetition of the phrase in that section. I'm not keen to blue link to other keywords, as in your ALT version, though. The idea of the hook is to get readers to click through to the DYK article. If they want to read about other aspects of the hook, they can reach them via the article, where other related pages are linked. Ok? Andrew Davidson (talk) 23:30, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
