  • Sandy Brown:   I have removed several paragraphs of unreferenced content that you added below the footer. The edit looked like as if you were adding prose for later referencing to an article in draft space. Given that this is already in mainspace, this is inappropriate. With the unreferenced content removed, this is still a stub and DYK does not accept stubs. Feel free to expand this (soon as there is a time limit for new content) so that it meets eligibility criteria. Maybe have a read of the rules: WP:DYKRULES. I have only reviewed the bio and not the article for the sculpture. Schwede66 23:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Earth Goddess:   That article is new enough and long enough. Clear of copyvio, but... much of the article is made of direct quotations. The prose size of the article as of right now is 2891 bytes of readable prose. I've made a copy of that version in my sandbox and put all direct quotes into <blockquote></blockquote> templates; doing so leaves a readable prose of 1972 bytes. Hence, 919 bytes or 32% of the prose is direct quotations. There are no hard and fast rules as to how much text can be as direct quotes but I suggest that one third is way too much. Can I therefore suggest that you please dial back the amount of direct quotation in the article? Please say (here's good) when that's done and I shall take another look. This review is obviously not complete yet but without the issue being addressed, it couldn't run so I will review the remaining criteria once you've addressed this issue.

  • I have moved and cited the hook fact as requested, but a QPQ is still needed. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:32, 25 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
