  • Nice work! Article is new enough, long enough, neutral/balanced, well sourced, no copyvio per Earwig (which notes that the lede has already been picked up by a random web site, plus the direct quote from the Swann Galleries site, which is correctly attributed in the article). QPQ is done. Original hook is fine, stated and cited within the article. Not sure about ALT1 – both in terms of how interesting it is (hard to know if a print run of 50,000 is a lot? unexpected? impressive?) and also what exactly it means (if there were two editions, is 50,000 referring to the first edition only?). I'm sure there are additional hooks we could propose for this. Here is one for your consideration:
  • absolutely *love* this suggestion. ALT2 for the win. Thank you! jengod (talk) 05:18, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Approved with ALT2 which works best with the eye-catching image of the poster! (Which BTW is a PD image (advertisement), confirmed no known restrictions on publication per Library of Congress.) Cielquiparle (talk) 07:46, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought...I believe I need someone else to approve ALT2 because I wrote it as the reviewer. Although the nominator approved it. Thanks. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:13, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Cielquiparle and Jengod, I like the general gist of ALT2, but the nearness of the paraphrase without directly quoting is worrisome. Can we keep the main message and rejig the wording? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:42, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

LMK what you think. Thanks for the help Cielquiparle Firefangledfeathers jengod (talk) 17:54, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
