  • - I'm happy to accept the sourcing of the hook, but I still have a couple of issues. Firstly, I would strongly suggest that this article be copyedited before it goes to the Main Page. I've picked up 'Rossetii', 'Rosetti' and 'Rossetti' in just a cursory scan of the article, as well as 'artistis', 'recollection's', and so on. I'd also suggest that the three uses of 'just' in the article be reduced to zero - maybe replace with 'simply'? I would WP:SOFIXIT but there are a bunch of issues that need to be fixed. Finally, I'd ask that the hook be retouched slightly - without reading the article, one would really have no idea what the hook is about. Arctic Night 20:17, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
spell checked and hook rephrased. Thanks for review. Do feel free to just change the article Victuallers (talk) 21:59, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
  • Isn't this the same painting of Lilith that is featured in Queue 5 and scheduled to go to the main page in 4 hours? That hook says the painting is by Rossetti. --Orlady (talk) 04:05, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
Thats correct but there are at least 4 paintings/ sketchs. You cannot assume that hooks tells the whole truth. The one illustrated here is nominally by Rossetti and that is what "The Met" say.... and no one doubts that it is out of Rosetti's studio. This article was created due to over enthusiastic assistance with the Lady Lliith article.... and the research for this added to that article too. However this article is about the man who may/probably/did paint a lot of Rossetti's paintings and one source "says" he painted a great deal of the Lady Lilith in the Met ...... which is not THE Lady Llith painting. I am pleased that you are intrigued by the hook. 94.174.142.121 (talk) 10:39, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
  • - everything now checks out. I'm not too concerned with what Orlady highlighted, although the promoting admin may feel differently. Arctic Night 10:53, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
