... that the 1912 painting Nasturtiums (pictured) only came into public possession in 2011?

Please fill out the references with proper citations which give the publisher. Is the reference used to support the hook a reliable source?♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:36, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

All publishers there as far as I know.
Suggested alternate hook *... that Nasturtiums, a painting by E. Phillips Fox, was purchased as a memorial to Margaret Olley? Whiteghost.ink 13:45, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I like your hook better, mine was a bit vague and bland. THe way you've done the referencing is different to how I'd have done it I guess. So for FN 20 I'd have slotted in St Georges one from the references. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:54, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I think I see what you mean about the refs. I did a lot more work on them. Thanks for the nomination. Whiteghost.ink 00:36, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Maybe I'm being a bit slow, but where in the reference that I presume is being used for the hook fact [1] is Margaret Olley mentioned? Prioryman (talk) 01:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, it's the abcnews ref - have fixed it now. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:06, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Ah OK, got it now. Good to go with the alternative hook: sourcing is fine, the article is well written and nicely illustrated. Prioryman (talk) 08:37, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
