  • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

Created by Desertarun (talk). Self-nominated at 08:50, 24 June 2021 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was new when nominated, and is long enough. Copyvio is fine at 4.8%, and only triggered by painting titles. Pic is out of copyright, hook is fine. Sources look OK, although "Trust, National" as an author would be better cited as "National Trust", I think? It would also be good to put a little more of a summary in the lead, as although this isn't a long article the lead is still a bit short. I'd also love some dates for Webster, you don't give a birth/death date or fl. dates, but say at age 25 he travelled in Wales, and in 1797 something else, but I can't relate those two things to each other as I don't know when he was 25? Just looking at a couple of sources I see the British Museum and Art UK have different fl. dates for him, so if you have any insight into why that could be quite useful in the article. The personal life section is a bit redundant as is, in this situation I would probably move the 'personal life' heading up to be the first section after style, and add whatever dates you can support. Or call that bit biography? I'll leave that to you, but the career makes more sense when you have personal life first.

  • Hi, thanks for the review. I've made all of the requested changes except his date of birth. I've added the fl date that I believe to be true and is sourced to Britannia's Palette. None of my book sources give a birth date, he's mostly known for his work and as you've noticed because information is so lacking there are very many even reputable sources with incorrect dates.
