  • Isn't the hook a subjective statement? Lovely article though, it passes DYK on all other merits. Also, I can't see Dr. Blofield in the history of the article, though I have no doubt he had a hand in it. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 01:00, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
  • I was expecting Dr. Blofield to add some text today. Probably, he is away. As regards your observations on the subjective nature of the hook, I am now rewording the text as an ALT 1 Hook below.--Nvvchar. 02:01, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT 1 ... that the National Art Gallery (Caracas) (interior courtyard pictured) represents the best of Venezuelan art in its 11 galleries and neo-classical architectural style in natural settings of willow trees and pond?
I've been a bit busy yes, but I'll try to add to it today as Nvv says.

AL2: ... that the 11 galleries of the National Art Gallery (Caracas) (interior courtyard pictured) have been cited as "the best of Venezuelan art"?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:50, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

  • I've replaced (interior view pictured) with (interior courtyard pictured). I was confused, because it sure didn't look like an "interior view" to me. This seems more accurately descriptive. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 19:37, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
  • I have pulled this from the prep area. The ALT1 hook that was promoted is an advertorial. ALT2 isn't supported by the article. Please write a non-advert-like hook that is supported by both the article and cited sources. --Orlady (talk) 01:48, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
"Most notable work" is a matter of opinion, not an objective fact. --Orlady (talk) 03:50, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT4 checks out. --Orlady (talk) 12:52, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
