ALT1:... that The Burton Cooper(pictured) shows a hole in his apron, traditional for coopers in the town? "the artist made sure his depiction was accurate, right down to the traditional hole in a Burton cooper's apron" from the same source
ALT2:... that James Butler studied coopers at Bass-Charrington for his 1977 work The Burton Cooper(pictured)? "observing the work of the coopers Erdie Lee and Joe Foster at Bass, photographing them and then making preliminary models" from the same source
Looks GTG to me. In terms of the article itself, it is new enough (created 17 Dec 2020, nom 19 Dec 2020), long enough (4230 chars readable prose), and within policy (refs/tone OK, no CLOP detected by automated/manual checks). In terms of the hook, it is within guidelines, interesting enough and supported by the refs in the source/nom. In terms of the other typical DYK considerations, the QPQ expectation is covered, and there are no image issues. Otherwise, while the "background" section of the article was a little broad, I think this is GTG as it (now) is. With the primary proposed hook. Guliolopez (talk) 00:15, 22 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
