The Graham Children
[edit]
- ... that one of the children shown in The Graham Children (pictured) by William Hogarth had died by the time the painting was completed?
- Reviewed: Walter Augustus de Havilland.
Moved to mainspace by Philafrenzy (talk). Self nominated at 19:01, 7 December 2014 (UTC).
Date, length OK. Article well referenced and neutral, and I could detect no copyvio. The image is (of course) out of copyright. But the rules require a citation at the end of the sentence containing the hook, please. Ref 1 does say that the baby was dead at the time of the painting. Perhaps this may do, or maybe one of the offline sources is more specific. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:47, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, I added a couple of refs including an online one. We don't know exactly when the child died, before or after the painting was started or 1741 or 1742, but we do know he was dead by the time it was completed. It's the second para of the Composition section. Sorry about all the offline refs, that's what I had for this one. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:59, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. Hook confirmed by a combination of two refs, one online, the other offline, which I AGF. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 17:17, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
- QPQ has not been done, and nomination should not have been approved with it outstanding. Please let us know when QPQ has been completed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:58, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
- QPQ done now. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:15, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, Philafrenzy. For future reference, the QPQ link should be to the nomination template, not the article. (I've fixed it.) Removing my icon, so Peter I. Vardy's tick once more holds sway. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:40, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
