@Randy Kryn:@Derek R Bullamore:@Another Believer: I nominated this article for DYK - would either of you be kind enough to approve it?
- Sorry, but this is one area on Wikipedia that I do not contribute to nowadays. Nevertheless, the best of luck with your submission. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 18:49, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- I quit dealing with DYK as well. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:36, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
@MagicatthemovieS: Thanks for your work on this article. I'm curious, is Good article status your goal? ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:41, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Another Believer: I'm not sure if I intend to get this to GA status or not at this point.MagicatthemovieS (talk) 23:05, 20 June 2019 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS
- MagicatthemovieS, You might check out the "Remarks" section here to see if any more should be added to the History section. I've added a Description section with more detail about the artwork's design and inscriptions, but I'd appreciate if you review the other sections of this source as well to see if I've overlooked anything important. Thanks, and good luck at GAN! ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:28, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
