Warriors (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis album)

{{GOCEtb|article=Warriors (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis album)|sign=Cheers, Baffle☿gab 19:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)}}

:Hi Jonathan Deamer, I think I've done the best I can with the plot section; I've reduced it to 900-ish words. There's some complex details and lots of characters to deal with, so I don't think it's possible to remove much more without losing details. I considered removing the song titles but decided they're useful for locating points in the narrative. The 700-word limit is a guideline and there'll always be exceptions, so I think it should be fine. Good luck with your planned GA nom and cheers, Baffle☿gab 19:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC).
