• ... that a hospitalized Ruth El Saffar had to dictate the introduction of her final book Rapture Encaged to Diana de Armas Wilson, with whom she co-edited Quixotic Desire a year earlier? Source: Ruth's final book, entitled Rapture Encaged: The Suppression of the Feminine in Western Culture, was published a few days after her death. Six months earlier, during one bleakly autumnal afternoon in the cancer hospital in Zion, Ruth, by then too frail to write, dictated to me [Diana de Armas Wilson] the book's moving introduction. The culmination of a lifetime of writing, this last book attempts to tie up whatever broken threads were left from her work as a cervantista. + Quixotic Desire: Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Cervantes. Ed. Ruth Anthony El Saffar and Diana de Armas Wilson. Ithaca: Cornell UP, 1993. 332 pages
  • ALT1: ... that after co-editing Quixotic Desire together, a hospitalized Ruth El Saffar had to dictate the introduction of her final book Rapture Encaged to Diana de Armas Wilson? Source: Same as ALT0

  • Comment: Oh, boy, a fearsome foursome. Not every day I have a chance to do this, let alone time to do the needed QPQs (I'll try to get the fourth one by 11:59pm EST QPQ 4 done). At least it helps with the t-limit part of the backlog. BTW there's a bullet list in Quixotic Desire that Prosesize won't catch, but the page is still above 1.5k.

Created by Miraclepine (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 104 past nominations.

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

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
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: Fantastic work. All articles new enough and long enough at time of nomination. Sourced, neutral, free of plagiarism, and otherwise a-ok. Hooks are cited; the interest comes from the dictation as hospitalised, so I prefer ALT0. Personally I'd trim it further to ALT0a: ... that a hospitalized Ruth El Saffar had to dictate the introduction of her final book to Diana de Armas Wilson, with whom she had co-edited Quixotic Desire? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:05, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Sure to the more concise ALT0a; I really need to be more flexible with piping. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:53, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
