General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @MatthewHoobin: I found the hook interesting as a theatre enthusiast, and I think the hook has broad enough appeal. The source for the hook is available online and verified, however the pages given for the "Couzin 1997" source are not accessible in the link provided. As of this edit I see QPQ is still pending; please update when complete. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:24, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ivanvector: Thank you for your feedback! Just letting you know that I've replaced the link provided with the "Couzin 1997" source, so the relevant pages should now be accessible. I'll update you again when QPQ has been completed. —Matthew - (talk) 05:55, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In my view, this change has worsened the accessibility of the source. While an OpenLibrary (Archive.org) book is available to read in full using a free account, the Google Books preview is finicky and limited. I doubt most readers who click on the link will be able to read pages 71–81. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 06:02, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, Firefangledfeathers, I didn't know about creating an OpenLibrary account. I'd recommend to go back to that resource, then. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:07, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. —Matthew - (talk) 16:12, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MatthewHoobin: you seem to be through with your QPQ review, but just making sure. All done? Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:27, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ivanvector: Yes! My apologies for forgetting to notify. —Matthew - (talk) 19:12, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then this is

good to go. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:45, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
