... that Roy Lichtenstein's Golf Ball paraphrases Piet Mondrian's Pre-World War I black and white oval paintings such as Composition in Black and White?

I'm not an expert on image licensing, but based on what I see at File:Composition in Black and White, 1917.jpg, I'd say the image is not acceptable for DYK. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:30, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
It isn't, so I've removed it. Bencherlite ^Talk 23:23, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

2nd QPQ against Template:Did you know nominations/Stafanie Taylor.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:14, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

ALT 1: ... that Roy Lichtenstein's Golf Ball, the painting of a resembled golf ball, is considered a paraphrase to Piet Mondrian's Pre-World War I black and white oval paintings, like Composition in Black and White?
ALT 2: ... Roy Lichtenstein's Golf Ball, the resembling painting of a golf ball?

Needs to include a golf ball. I wonder if ALT 1 is more interesting than ALT 2. --George Ho (talk) 20:09, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

- I don't like the way ALT 1 and 2 use resemble.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:30, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
ALT 3:... that Roy Lichtenstein's Golf Ball, which depicts a golf ball, paraphrases Piet Mondrian's Pre-World War I black and white oval paintings such as Composition in Black and White?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:30, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

New enough and long enough at the time of nomination. Article is fully supported by inline citations. Hooks are supported by article. QPQ completed. Alt3 appears to be supported by hook and support from commentors. Image on article has fair use rationale and is not included in hook. Article reads as neutral enough.
Sources support hooked text, sources support text, sources were not plagiarised to write the article. --LauraHale (talk) 04:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Good to go with Alt3. --LauraHale (talk) 04:19, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Above it says "Needs to include a golf ball." Why? The hook would be much better without the redundant "which depicts a golf ball". MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:36, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Propose an alt4 the nominator will be happy with and that we can verify source wise again? Otherwise, alt3 per nominator and review. --LauraHale (talk) 23:43, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Well, no need for any new source verification.
ALT 4:... that Roy Lichtenstein's Golf Ball paraphrases Piet Mondrian's pre-World War I black and white oval paintings such as Composition in Black and White? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:56, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I am indifferent between ALT 3 and ALT 4.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:02, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I just noticed that ALT4 is identical to the original hook, except I made the "p" in "pre" lower case. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:12, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Good to go with Alt3 or Alt4 per mover's preference. --LauraHale (talk) 00:22, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
