Overall:

Needs a QPQ, the article could use some copy editing, the hook is not very interesting. --evrik ^(talk) 04:59, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is a bad hook. I just put it in as a placeholder. I’ll think of a new one. Best, Thriley (talk) 05:17, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Thriley: This is aged, please provide the QPQ and a better hook or I will move to close this nomination. Thank you. --evrik ^(talk) 20:26, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Thriley: I can't think of a good hook for this ... and if I do, I can't approve the nomination. Any help? --evrik ^(talk) 22:36, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for trying! I’ll have a hook ready in a few hours. Best, Thriley (talk) 23:34, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 ~~"... that Romy Golan's 2021 book Flashback, Eclipse is an exploration of Italian art of the 1960s that moved away from the modern art created under Italian fascism?"~~ Brooklyn Rail Thriley (talk) 13:29, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
--evrik ^(talk) 13:51, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- evrik and Thriley, some alternate hook suggestions:
ALT2: ... that Romy Golan argued in her first book that cosmopolitanism and xenophobia intersect in European art?

ALT3: ... that Romy Golan's Art and Power "drives a nail into the coffin of European art" between the two world wars? "Painting a dark picture". The Guardian. October 31, 1995. Retrieved April 7, 2022 – via Newspapers.com.

  - I approved Alt 1. I'll leave the rest to the promoter. --evrik ^(talk) 13:28, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    - - @Evrik: the promoter can't use them unless they're approved, but it's still fine if you don't want to tick more hooks. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 05:10, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        we'll need a reviewer for these, still theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 11:00, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        @Theleekycauldron: would it be easier if I struck the two hooks you added after I approved this nomination? --evrik ^(talk) 20:46, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        
        @Evrik: it wouldn't, unless you think the hooks are worse and shouldn't be ran... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 20:54, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        I was meh on them. If someone else wants to look at them, okay. --evrik ^(talk) 21:04, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1a "... that Romy Golan's 2021 book Flashback, Eclipse is an exploration of Italian art of the 1960s that moved away from the art created under Italian fascism?"

@Evrik: can you look at this hook? I think it is better to remove the link to modern art as it really isn’t what Golan is referring to. Thriley (talk) 18:59, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have approved Alt1a.--evrik ^(talk) 19:03, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
