... that The Connor Brothers were believed to be two twenty-something artists from Brooklyn, but were actually two British art dealers from London? Source: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-features/11153746/The-Connor-Brothers-An-exclusive-interview.html "According to the biographies and press releases made available at their shows and online, the 'twenty-something twin brothers' ...were brought up in California within a secretive and controversial Christian cult ...Far from being escapees from a religious cult living in Brooklyn, the 'brothers', I was told, were two art dealers from London... "
Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, it has good sourcing, is neutral and is plagiarism free. I found the background section quite hard to follow, perhaps some subheadings could be introudced and the section on palaeonotlogy move to later in the article? There's also a bit of paraphrasing from th Telegraph: "as a form of therapy" & "a cult in their teens" which could be re-written? The hook is cited, and interesting. QPQ is done. Thanks for starting the article. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. I've re-ordered the article because I can understand your point that there was too many varied things covered in "Background". It would be a shame if two very short phrases were treated as a copyright violation, I'm unsure how they could be reworded differently but mean the same thing. Would welcome a second opinion.

Thanks @Sionk: - the article looks great now, so much clearer! Thank you. I wasn't treating the phrases as a copyvio, more just pointing it out as part of wider improvements (this was unclear). Lajmmoore (talk) 16:55, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
