Review
| General: Article is new enough and long enough |
|---|
Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- The lists of exhibitions and collections have no sources - Neutral: - "lived between the pull of freedom and the push of security" is too purple for my taste
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems:
| Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |
|---|
|
QPQ: 
- The nominator has to do a QPQ. The creator's status is not enough.
Overall: 
We don't need a citation for every collection and exhibition but something more seems needed, as is a QPQ. ALT1 is the best hook. Andrew🐉(talk) 18:45, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. I did a qpq, see above. I hope the creator can help with the sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:28, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt, it has been a month, and the creator has not done anything regarding the sources. Will you be doing something reasonably soon? BlueMoonset (talk) 05:52, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- Define soon. Funeral, opera, company, articles of recent deaths, travel - not the normal soon, and sadly after Black history month, but I am willing., just not soon. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:46, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- I looked now. For collections, I found a source, with even a few more. Exhibitions: I found this, but - not familiar with the topic - don't know if it's acceptable. To search for every single one would be tedious. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 00:03, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
The QPQ has been done and the additional sources seem adequate for DYK. The purple prose that I objected to was not sourced and doesn't seem needed so I've removed it. That takes care of the issues and so we're good to go. Thanks to Gerda for doing this work on behalf of another contributor and a notable artist. Andrew🐉(talk) 23:24, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
