Adelaide Lawson

[edit]
  • ... that contemporaries of the American artist Adelaide Lawson saw her as a lovable bohemian who "had never been taught to wash her ears and neck"?
  • ALT1:... that contemporaries of the American artist Adelaide Lawson saw her as a lovably gypsy-like young woman who "had never been taught to wash her ears and neck"?

  • New enough, long enough (really detailed!), meets core content policies. I think that the "bohemian" label is actually describing one of her relatives, but I could be wrong. Other than that, the hook is accurate. (Note to whoever promotes this: There are three fair-use images of Lawson's paintings in the article. I'm assuming that's okay, but don't know for sure.) --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 17:37, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks, Jakob. I've struck out the hook and replaced it with an ALT that reflects more accurately what the source document says. -- Delabrede (talk) 18:36, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Sure. Good to go with ALT1. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 18:38, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
  • This article contains improper use of fair-use rationale. None of the paintings shown are discussed in the article, so are clearly not necessary. There also concerns on their resolution, especially File:Adelaide Lawson, Group of Women.jpg. I would advise removing them all, unless there is notable literary discussion on any of them.

* Jolly: I've removed the images. My problem was that the images available to me weren't discussed in the textual resources available to me. I'm sorry I didn't notice the resolution issues and will try to be more attentive to that matter in future. -- Delabrede (talk) 20:34, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
