Interesting life, on good sources, all offline, accepted AGF. - The hook is boring, sorry. Please tell those who don't know yet what they did in art. perhaps mention "Beauty and Ugliness" - Article: I made minor changes. Only few concerns:
- what does "many culture" mean?
- what is "bodily response"?
- what are "creative differences" - sounds at least ambiguous. That's it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:36, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thank you Gerda, for helpful review as always. I have removed/clarified the ambiguous wordings, "many culture" (changed to addressing the boom of aesthetic movement in UK, with a citation), "bodily response" (clarified) and "creative differences" (removed). Whenever you have time, if you could take another look that would be awesome. Thank you! Alex ShihTalk 18:34, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you, also for the barnstar! I fixed some refs, but #1 and #11 don't point to a citation, and I don't want to mess with them. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:48, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Ah sorry. I fixed the York citation (all from p. 93 of the 2002 book), and added quotation marks.
- As for the hook. What about,

- Thank you for the fixes. Not yet happy with the hooks, both say too little about her. How about using the image?
I approve the original, but am open for other suggestions. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:15, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'm open to suggestions too if any other editors can suggest another hook. I think the number of biographical nominations without images have been running low recently, so I am not sure if I should add the image. Either way is fine, thanks again! Alex ShihTalk 06:53, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- It's an atractive unusual image of a woman, which illustrates the hook, the original and a variety of ALT1. - It can be taken for the Main page or not, that's a different question. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:16, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
