• @Gerda Arendt: i'll take a look at this! 750h+ 08:22, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

  750, thank you for taking this up! You may have seen in the history that I began this article, but 4meter4, not convinced of the reliability of some sources, added many sources and much of the content, - I offered to 4meter4 to nominate this for GA, but decided - once it was that much improved - to do it.

lead

• resident artist at Oper Frankfurt in 2016; a position she remains in as of 2024. is the semi colon needed? I'd recommend a comma or an em dash
• Juilliard School before becoming a member of the young May benefit from conciseness. Maybe change before becoming a member of to "joining"?

  both done, thank you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:31, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

early life, education, and beginning career in the united states

• Juilliard School in New York City, achieving a master's degree in 2011. ==> Juilliard School in New York City and achieved a master's degree in 2011.

  done --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:33, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

international career

• In 2016, Hall used her North Carolina accent to great effect as Ruby could we explain what "great effect" means in a footnote?

  I don't know. English is not my first language, - is sounds concise and self-explanatory to me. She had this accent after growing up there, which the role needed, so it came naturally to her, which added to the effectiveness pf her portrayal, - that's what I understand. As it happens, I spent three months in North Carolina, and years later I was told in New York State that I had a Southern accent. --GA

• In May 2024, she is scheduled to perform the title role in Bizet's Carmen with the Austin Lyric Opera,[67] and perform as the alto soloist in Mozart's Requiem with the New York Philharmonic and Musica Sacra under conductor Kent Tritle.[68] i'd recommend removing the second "perform".

  I'll check if it happened and rephrase, - May is over. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

  It happened, I'll add a review. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:42, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

  The Mozart also happened. I added a review. There's also NYT but without easy access. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:15, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks for the changes, Gerda. 750h+ 10:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

I'd recommend archiving the sources, but other than that I'm happy to pass the source review. Earwig shows an unlikely copyright violation figure of 13.8%. 750h+ 08:22, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

I never did archiving, - how do I learn that? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:38, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

So essentially you just go to “View history” and under where it says “Filter revision”, you’ll see “Fix dead links”, press that. once you get there, tick the bar that says “Add archives to all non-dead references (Optional)“ and press analyze! 750h+ 10:25, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. (I need a ping only when you think I'm not responding in a reasonable time.) I signed on, and managed! - I believe that none of the steps looked self-explanatory ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:51, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Haha, thanks for the note! Anyways with that I'm happy to pass this article for good article status! 750h+ 11:54, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
