Title

@Another Believer: Hi again. I'm investigating this sculpture and I have found that English-language sources use the English name consistently. Do you think it should be moved to How Doth the Little Crocodile (Carrington) or How Doth the Little Crocodile (sculpture)? (CC) Tbhotch^™ 21:35, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tbhotch, WP:VAMOS says, "If the title is not very specific, or refers to a common subject, add the surname of the artist in parentheses afterwards, e.g. Reading the Letter (Picasso). It is generally better to disambiguate by the artist's name than by medium, as there may be other paintings or sculptures of the same name by other artists." If you're aware of any other artworks called "How Doth the Little Crocodile", then How Doth the Little Crocodile (Carrington) may be better, but if not, I have no problem with How Doth the Little Crocodile (sculpture). Thanks for expanding the article! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:16, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, the move to How Doth the Little Crocodile (Carrington) makes more sense since a painting is being described as well. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:44, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How Doth the Little Crocodile

... that How Doth the Little Crocodile (pictured) by Leonora Carrington was based on Lewis Carroll's poem of the same name? Source: "And the crocodiles? They are from a 1998 painting by Carrington entitled How Doth the Little Crocodile (based on the poem by Lewis Carroll, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). She later turned the image into a small and then a large scale sculpture, which was installed in Mexico City in 2000." (The Independent)

5x expanded by Tbhotch (talk). Self-nominated at 23:10, 8 June 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Tbhotch, review follows: article more than 5x expanded from 8 June; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources throughout; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing and the quote is properly attributed; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and backed up by the source cited; I'm not an expert on freedom of panorama in Mexico but the image appears to have an acceptable license; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 08:04, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
