Only now discovering how different Diamond Tooth Lils (DTLs) were independently notable... I originally dumped a few sources here for inconsistencies with the Klondike Lil story, but they could be useful in the future as I separate the Klondike Lil coverage from that of the Nevada/Boise(?) Lil. (Also re: the Yukon News, I'm more sympathetic to using the established, footnoted sources, even with questionable understanding of the combined myths, than I am to using this local news column opinion section.)

Inspired partly by the success of Wallace's Oasis Bordello Museum and a "Saints and Sinners" tour that involved both Oasis and the neighboring Cataldo Mission, Richardson and Kovach staged the first version of the tour in 2003 to a mostly positive response. "Someone was offended and felt we were glamorizing the exploitation of women," Richardson recalls, "But we certainly didn't try to make it a funny situation. We received plenty more calls asking when we would do it again." ... a healthy dose of irony, banter and larger-than-life-characters--like ...

This source smushes Ornstein and Hildegard into one person, and while I can sympathize—the "myth" of DTL appears to synthesize many disparate traits—there are some smaller details that might be interesting to mention but don't fit well. One weird example is how DTL once "sang and played piano at the 1903 World's Fair", but there was no fair that year to my recollection, and it's hard to tell which Lil timeline the statement supports. The MacKell source's redeeming quality is that it has frequent footnotes and in this case, the Mazzullas interview, published as Brass Checks and Red Lights in 1966, p. 12. czar 04:02, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-10-15T04:02:00.000Z","author":"Czar","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Czar-2017-10-15T04:02:00.000Z-World's_Fair","replies":[]}}-->

I will be starting this review shortly. I have made a couple minor clarifications to the article's wording but nothing substantial.

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Exceeds the minimum criteria of simply being clear and concise. Explains a potentially-confusing situation where multiple women used the same alias around the same time with a minimum of fuss. No issues with spelling and grammar. Lead neatly summarizes the article while being interesting enough that the reader wants to explore further. Layout is clear - one section for an overview, then one for each notable Diamond Lil including the fictional one. No issues with words to watch.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
Can't access sources 6, 8 & 9 due to paywalls, but the citation details match and they are reliable publications (New York Times and Washington Post) so I have no concerns. Quotes are cited, no paraphrasing problems.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Covers all the important known facts about the notable women who used the name, but does not go into excess detail on any portion.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Looks like a pass to me, and nice work! ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:26, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2017-11-27T04:26:00.000Z","author":"Premeditated Chaos","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Premeditated_Chaos-2017-11-27T04:26:00.000Z-GA_Review","replies":[],"displayName":"PMC"}}-->

@Premeditated Chaos, could you mark your Newspapers.com clippings as public so others/I can see them? Also I think it might be time to retire the infobox. It seems misleading to put the image/vital info of one person at the top when the concept spans multiple people. (The old image was due for deletion weeks ago anyway.) Could move the new image itself to the second section, though czar 01:50, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-05-04T01:50:00.000Z","author":"Czar","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Czar-2018-05-04T01:50:00.000Z-Newspapers.com","replies":["c-Premeditated_Chaos-2018-05-04T03:56:00.000Z-Czar-2018-05-04T01:50:00.000Z"]}}-->

The clippings are public now, thanks for the reminder. I agree about the infobox, I'll go pull it and move the image. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:56, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-05-04T03:56:00.000Z","author":"Premeditated Chaos","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Premeditated_Chaos-2018-05-04T03:56:00.000Z-Czar-2018-05-04T01:50:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"PMC"}}-->
