QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Technically, the sources in ALT0 say "a miracle" and "miraculously", rather than "miraculous". This may not be a major issue, as these are obviously different forms of the same word, but the exact word isn't "miraculous", either.
- Nice work PMC. Before I approve this, I just have one question above about the use of quotation marks around the word "miraculous" in ALT1. Epicgenius (talk) 13:40, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Epic. Rather than try to tangle with MOS to figure out if I can do what I was doing, how does this sound?
- ALT2: ... that fashion journalists joked that it was "a miracle" that no models fell while walking the runway in the 12-inch armadillo shoes designed in 2010 by Alexander McQueen?
- Can also sub "wrote that it was" if "joked that it was" feels too editorial. I suppose I could also de-quote, since at least two sources directly used variations on "miracle" to describe their relief. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

ALT2 works fine for me, as does ALT1. Epicgenius (talk) 22:53, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
