A fact from Love's Messenger appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 February 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the 1885 watercolor painting Love's Messenger (pictured) shows several symbols of "beauty, love, and abundance of Venus and the sensuality and unpredictability of her son Cupid"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/February. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Love's Messenger.

Reference

Is the "p. 395" in the reference listing for Waking Dreams a copy-paste, or are you citing that page as well?

I'll see if I have anything more on this work tonight. I'd love to find someone comparing the composition to Mariana and Waterhouse's Lady of Shallot - all these women working embroideries in front of windows... - PKM (talk) 23:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first "pp. 395" is the number of total pages in the book. The "See, especially, pp. 262-263" is the section on Love's Messenger, though there are other brief mentions in the book. I think this is the way to express this, but I've had others question the format in other places. Any suggestions? Smallbones (talk) 17:40, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
