- ... that in Rubens' altarpiece (pictured), the plague victims are hopeful of relief, but in David's painting, they are in despair?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 20:14, 5 May 2020 (UTC).
The first article has achieved 5× expansion of 29 March version from 203 characters to 4,603. However, the second article falls just short at 2,475 characters at the moment – it was at 554 characters on 29 March and thus requires 2,770 to meet the 5× requirement. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:18, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- Continuing on with the review – no copyvios detected in either article [1][2] and no close paraphrasing issues spotted (AGF scanned refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 126 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 3 in both (verifying the hook) is a reliable source from Google Books. Both QPQs done. Only expansion of second article needs to be completed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:39, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Bloom6132: Thank you for the review. I knew it was a little short, but I was running out of time to nominate it. I planned to lengthen it today, and have now done so. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:59, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
No worries, Cwmhiraeth. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:01, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this. The image is terribly dark at thumbnail size. Would you mind using the image in the Rubens article instead? Yoninah (talk) 20:44, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- I like this picture better, but I agree that it is a bit dark. Using the Rubens one would be fine. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:14, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. Replacing image with freely-licensed image. Yoninah (talk) 10:26, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
