Expansion[edit]

This article really needs to get expanded with text. There is plenty to write about, but as is it is just a list of items, + a gallery. And as is it is assumes (perhaps rightly so) the topic to be along the lines of Western depictions with Dormition of the Theotokos treated as a separate issue. That is probably a good separation, but it should at least be clarified. If no one else gets to it, I will try to do it by the end of the year, or thereabouts.

@Johnbod: Date and length fine. However I think the hook needs to me more explicit in the article. QPQ done, please ping me once that's done and I can pass it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 16:33, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The C of E: - ok now? Johnbod (talk) 18:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That seems OK however, @Johnbod: I have just noticed something that I missed last time. You nominated this on the 14th so I can only count expansion from the 7th and if I do that, this isn't a 5x expansion. Can you explain this? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:58, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed under 6 Jan, when the expansion began (at 20:10 pm to be precise). So you can (and should) stretch it by 3hrs 50 m to allow for a slightly late nomination. Johnbod (talk) 19:11, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Very well. This is highly irregular to me but I am happy to accept the reference to policy you provide (we might need to look at that later on). Nevertheless, the hook is now more clearly cited inline, the picture licence is fine and there is no close paraphrasing. Rest of the review as above. This is good to go.
