Sally Gilmour edit
- ... that ballet dancer Sally Gilmour was "acclaimed in the 1940s as second only to Margot Fonteyn among British ballerinas"?

At more than 1600chars, the article is long enough. It's free from close paraphrasing issues as far as I could see. Without affecting its compliance with DYK requirements, some sections are a little short, and could possibly be merged or expanded. The hook is cited to the only source not available on line. Also, might be interesting to be the first of/in something, but second? No. I don't feel it's particularly interesting to be second, even if it is "only to Margot Fonteyn amongst British ballerinas" – we could probably do better hooking to one of her roles, maybe that of a vixen... -- Ohc ¡digame! 15:14, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- I've added a URL for the ONDB reference (subscription only, but accessible online using most UK public library cards). How about ALT1:
... that ballet dancer Sally Gilmour was best known for her metamorphosis into a vixen in the title role of Andrée Howard's Lady Into Fox?
- as above, length and reffing is fine in both hook and article. No close paraphrasing spotted. I did a bit of expanding and merging. I prefer alt1. Like to keep this for International Women's Day if author if fine with that Victuallers (talk) 19:10, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
