• ... that when painting one of the Columbus murals, Luigi Gregori used University of Notre Dame founder Edward Sorin as the model for Christopher Columbus's face? Source: "For the face of Columbus, Gregori used Fr. Thomas Walsh as his model in all of the murals except one. For the bearded Columbus on his deathbed, Gregori painted Sorin." (Tucker, Todd. Notre Dame vs. The Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defied the KKK.)

• Hi HueSatLum, review follows: article moved to mainspace 17 June; article exceeds minimum length; article is largely well written, I couldn't understand this passage though: "showing the natives Notre Dame's founding Congregation of Holy Cross missionaries encountered"; article is cited inline throughout to reliable, largely offline sources; hook fact is mentioned in the article, AGF on offline sourcing; a QPQ has been carried out. I think I can tick this on the assumption that the one passage of text will be remedied - Dumelow (talk) 17:26, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review; I have reworded that phrase in an attempt to clarify. ~huesatlum 03:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks hue. I may have just been a bit thick yesterday but I understand it now! - Dumelow (talk) 07:10, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
