William Etty
|
York Art Gallery
|
Reasonable start-class article. Some obvious errors - including links to wrong pages. Nothing on the saving of the walls.
|
Royal Academy School, History of York, Victorian Art / Category:William Etty
|
Several in the article's external links section. BBC Your Paintings. Very visible on google!
|
YMT Collections pages: 1, 2, 3.

Statue well photographed but there is also the grave at St Olave's.

Tempest Anderson
|
Yorkshire Museum
|
stub-class article. Plenty of under-used references
|
Vulcanology, Archaeology, Geology/History of geology, Yorkshire Philosophical Society / commons:Category:Images from the Tempest Anderson Collection By the time the edit-a-thon takes place this should contain several hundred, recently made hi-resolution scans.
|
See the references already on the article or project sub-pages
|
Tempest Anderson is a specialist sub-project of the residency with pages here: GLAM/YMT/Tempest Anderson. In addition, images of the Tempest Anderson Hall during construction are available.
|
Tempest Anderson's house was in Stonegate. Check with YPS members about a plaque.

Albert Joseph Moore
|
York Art Gallery
|
Reasonable article though it lacks structure and needs better interwiki links. Needs an expert to link into the movement's and styles to which Moore belonged.
|
Royal Academy, History of York, Victorian Art / Category:Albert Joseph Moore

A small number of Moore's works are already digitised and on AdLib. Some of these already exist on Commons in lower quality or with poor meta-data
