Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well sourced, neutral and plagiarism free. The hook is cited, but I wonder if there are more interesting things to draw on? Maybe his connection to the Franklin exhibtion? Or the drawings he made. Also, I would love to see the portrait, or one of the other images added to the nomination - they are wonderful. The other thing I wondered, was whether you think it might be worth shifting some of the content about how his life was interpreted and recorded in a "Historiography" section or similar? I really enjoyed reading the article, thank you for starting it with such detail. Lajmmoore (talk)
Y support ALT1 (I still think a historiography section would be really good - and would help the GA nomination) Lajmmoore (talk) 08:12, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
