The Rape of Lucretia, c. 1640

Created by Ficaia (talk). Self-nominated at 21:10, 9 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Rape of Lucretia (Ficherelli); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article's new enough and long enough. The "story" section needs its last few sentences sourced; this is a mythology with various versions so I wouldn't apply WP:PLOTCITE here. I'd imagine that at least part of #1 (the source) actually refers to the information in the image rather than the webpage. The text however implies that the servant (not: slave) is aware that he'll be the fall guy, while the source explicitly says he isn't. Which source mentions Guido Cagnacci? #4 needs some more detail to know who this is. I figure it is Livius or Livy but it isn't self-evident. Didn't notice any copyvio or plagiarism. Hook is interesting, sourced in the article and image seems OK to me. QPQ is fairly basic. No guarantee that putting a rape-related DYK on the main page will pass muster, though.

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: (1) I've added another reference to Livy in the 'Story' section. (2) 'Servant' is a bowdlerisation, but I've reworked the sentences a bit. (3) Cagnacci is mentioned here (already cited in the article). 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 17:02, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ficaia and Jo-Jo Eumerus: Should the hook say "artist" - painter may not be the right word. I understand why we cannot name the artist in the hook since the work can be attributed to either Felice Ficherelli or Guido Cagnacci. Bruxton (talk) 18:13, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
