  • ... that James Henry Marriott (pictured) was the first producer of regular productions of plays in New Zealand? Source: Downes, Peter. "James Henry Marriott". Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. Ministry for Culture and Heritage. Retrieved 1 March 2019.
  • Reviewed: Lord, have mercy upon us (Mendelssohn)
  • Comment: (1) The article Henry James Marriott was a stub for some time, then became a redirect. My expansion was moved to mainspace, to replace the redirect, on 2 March 2019. (2) I'm not sure if the optometry-optics link in ALT2 is correct (not my subject), so it needs checking.

Symbol question.svg What a life! On good sources, the one I can't see accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and shows the period well. - Of the hooks, I like the theatre premiere (ALT1) best, but think the normal wording would be "world premiere", not debut, which is rather used as "he made his debut as ...", and "on stage" deems redundant. Reword als ALT3? - In the article, the last image seems pretty useless, at least I see nothing ;) - I'd write more summary of his life in the lead than mention relatives, but that's up to you.
Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you, for both. If you or someone watching come up with better wording, - I'll watch. I could imagine to name the play, for example. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:46, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Symbol question.svg I think this needs a better hook. Most of the "facts" are inaccurate, and there is plenty of interesting stuff in the biography to find something different. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:25, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, but I believe the play would be more interesting, and what's wrong with that? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:39, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
