Tanya Saracho
edit- ALT7:... that, for Vida, Tanya Saracho assembled an all-Latinx, "heavily queer" writers' room and a directorial team who are all Latinx or women of color? (150) Source: "She wanted an all-Latinx writers room — so, she made it happen. She wanted the writers to be heavily queer — so, she made it happen (50% of the writers identify as LGBTQ+). She wanted every director on the show to be either a woman of color or Latinx — so, she made it happen." [1]
Struck hooks

- Comment: I'm not great at writing hooks, so I'd appreciate some help improving them if you think they all suck.

- I am not going to consider any of the other hooks. I think you scared away potential reviewers by adding this many hooks. Article is new enough and long enough. Article and hook is sourced sourced. No neutrality or copyright problem detected. QPQ done. Good to go. KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:10, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- @KAVEBEAR: Thank you so much; I can completely see what you mean about scaring away potential reviewers.

- Having chatted with a friend, could I ask you please to consider ALT7 instead of the original hook? From the things Saracho has said about Latina gaze and the importance of queer representation, I think ALT7 is probably the best hook to emphasise that.
- Sorry again for the surfeit of hooks; I don't feel that I'm all that great at determining what's actually the most interesting, so I was hoping that some friends would help me review those before a reviewer came along to approve the DYKnom. I've struck through most of the other alternates. — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 14:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Approving ALT7 or original hook. Creator prefers ALT7. I don’t have preference. Latinx is gender neutral term for Latina or Latino. KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:15, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- OK, thanks. @OwenBlacker:, as I'm looking over the article before promotion, I notice that the lead is littered with cites for non-controversial information. (Why is there a cite after her name? If there needs to be one it should go with her full name in the first sentence under "Early life".) In the lead you say she founded Teatro Luno in 2001, and in the body text you say it was in 2000. I'd appreciate your moving the cites out of the lead and making sure the information in the body follows the sources before I proceed. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 00:23, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Done — and a good catch on the contradictory foundation dates; I've corrected the references to "June 2000", as mentioned on their own site and in a handful of other refs. Thank you! — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 19:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you. I tried to go through most of the article, though it was difficult as your sentences are overlong and packed with information through the use of em-dashes. This would really benefit from a copy-edit. I added a "citation needed" tag where you quote something and don't give the citation for it. My opinion on the hooks is that ALT7 is all right, but I would click on something much shorter and snappier using the term "the Latina gaze". Yoninah (talk) 21:12, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Fair enough. It's a little late here for me to give it a better look tonight, but I should be able to do so at the weekend, if not sooner. I'll ping you again here once I have done. Thanks again! — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 22:14, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I've done some copyediting and improved some references. I think I need to give it another pass of copyedits, though. I'm away this week, but I'll give it another once-over once I'm back and I'll think about the hook some more too — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 11:41, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah and BlueMoonset: Sorry for the delay and thank you for the reminder. Hectic real-world deadlines got in the way. I've given it that second pass; I think I'm good to go now. — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 20:44, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
