Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Coronation of the Virgin (Pollaiuolo); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Interesting painting, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and almost a must. The hook: while I think I know what you mean, I'm afraid - remembering similar cases that we can't let the quote stand as Wikipedia voice, but need some kind of "described as" which makes it more clumsy. I also wonder if the St Jerome details might be more interesting than migraine. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:19, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mean anything, it's a quote in quotation marks, which we usually treat as clear enough, don't we? I'm clear that this is the best hook. Johnbod (talk) 16:51, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod, I think Gerda Arendt is right that we should include a tag that succinctly notes we're not endorsing the analysis as our own. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 07:04, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why - we didn't find this necessary for:

... that David Gerard is the author of Attack of the 50-foot Blockchain, a "'no holds barred' attack" on cryptocurrency? (on July 12th)

.. that Piri's self-produced music video for "Soft Spot" features her performing against her bedroom wall to projected "trippy liquid visuals" she found on YouTube? (July 9)

... that Catherine de Parthenay (pictured), a 16th-century Huguenot leader, was a member of "a highly successful network of information" during the French Wars of Religion? (July 6)

...and that's just the last 10 days. Johnbod (talk) 03:33, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While I see differences, I have no time to argue ;) - I approve it and leave it to you to deal with ERRORS - or not. Good luck! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:38, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

In the "Description" section, we have "At this period works for places away from the artist's native city were often signed in this way, advertising the skill of the painter, and showing the commissioner, here one Domenico Strambi" followed by a footnote citation "Hare, 369". I checked p. 369 of the book (from the Google books link provided at the end) but didn't find this piece of information. Am I missing something? --TheLonelyPather (talk) 12:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this only covers Strambi, who is there. The general point is covered by the refs at the end of the sentence. Johnbod (talk) 14:54, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
