  • Article is new enough, long enough, carefully written with inline references to appropriate sources. Good encyclopedic style! The Earwig tool finds no copyrighted material. QPQ done. The hook is short, properly formatted, and shows a distinctive quirk of this artist. The hook is stated in the article with an inline source. Query about the sourcing of the hook: the hook mentions Barnes' poetry but this isn't mentioned in the source. The source mentions "Barnes style captions" and from context I'm prepared to interpret that as Dorset dialect, but is there a source specifically about Barnes writing poetry in the dialect?

Problem now fixed, thanks.Reply
  • Thanks, MartinPoulter. I noticed the rogue space, I’ll try moving the page to fix it. The source linked after the hook says “Many of his paintings had Barnes’ style captions, such as: Jeanes Wedden Day in Mornen (1879); Farmer’s Woldest Dater (1908) and Wedden Morn (1909).“ Would you like me to try to find another source to spell out that that “Barnes’ style captions“ means Dorset dialect? Jeanes Wedden Day in Mornen is the title of a Barnes poem. Moonraker (talk) 16:52, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Moonraker: I don't need a direct mention of Dorset dialect, but unless I'm missing something, the source doesn't say that Barnes was a poet or that Jeanes Wedden Day in Mornen was one of his poems. Since the hook mentions his poetry I just want to be clear about which source justifies that. I'm sure it's true: just want to be 100% sure which sources this hook (and the statement in the article) is based on. MartinPoulter (talk) 17:17, 16 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, MartinPoulter, that’s fair enough, I have added a new source for Barnes being a poet and writing in the Dorset dialect. The Dorset Ancestors source is referring to "Jeanes Wedden Day in Mornen" as one of Clark’s picture "captions", and the article was only using it as an example of that, but I have now added that it is also the name of a Barnes poem, with a citation.

@Moonraker: Nice work. That's a hook well and truly sourced and good to go. MartinPoulter (talk) 12:33, 17 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
