    • ALT1:... that since 2001, street artist John Hamon has been prolific in postering, and projecting, his image on the structures of Paris as well as in 76 other cities and 33 countries around the world, most with a simple caption "John Hamon"? Source:The New Yorker

  • After an initial assessment, the article is new enough, long enough, does not appear to violate copyright or POV. Contains inline citations. Will continue my review shortly. Skyes(BYU) (talk) 18:28, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • QPQ appears to not be necessary. The editor has 1 DYK credit according to QPQ check.
Hook is mildly interesting, but hooks should be something shocking or unusual that would make someone want to stop and click on the link to read more. I think it would be far more interesting to mention Harmon's guerilla artistry and his arrest for attempting to showcase his art on Notre-Dame.
  • Perhaps something along the lines of, ... that street-artist John Hamon was arrested for attempting to project his guerilla-style art on Notre-Dame de Paris?" Source:20 Minutes
  • I tagged this with DYKproblem so we can discuss the hook because I am not ready to pass the hook as is. If you can convince me that this is the best possible hook for the article, I will pass, otherwise, I really think a much more "hooky" hook can be written.Skyes(BYU) (talk) 19:27, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bogger: Coming to promote this, can you please clarify what the article means by "projected"? To me this means an image produced by a photographic projector, but looking at the images in the article, these look like material images on paper or card, that you would need to climb the building to put in place. Please also reformat the bare url reference in the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:17, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Cwmhiraeth: Photographic projector, but can't find a free-image of this. Bogger (talk) 06:35, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Replacing tick. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:01, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you both. I just noticed the repetition and would even trim it some more:
  • ALT1b: ... that since 2001, street artist John Hamon has postered and projected his image (pictured) on the structures of Paris and 76 other cities around the world?
  • It's great for the image slot, and the image is self-explanatory. Yoninah (talk) 10:04, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1c: ... that since 2001, street artist John Hamon has postered and projected his image (pictured) on the structures of Paris and 76 other cities around the world, with a simple caption: "John Hamon"?
works for me.Bogger (talk) 23:00, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
