Babe Ruth Bows Out (1948)

• ... that Babe Ruth died two months after this Pulitzer prize winning photograph (pictured) of him attending a ceremony to retire his number? Source: June 13, 1948 photo and Death August 16, 1948 and 1949 Pulitzer
  • ALT1: ... that Babe Ruth Bows Out (pictured) marked the first time a sports related image won the Pulitzer Prize for Photography? Source: first time
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/555 Edgecombe Avenue
  • Comment: The image is cropped - I am not sure if we need to call that out in the caption.
    • Since the subject is the prize-winning photograph, I would strongly recommend using the full photo. If the cropped version is used, it should definitely be mentioned in the (pictured) and/or the caption. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 18:06, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

• @Mandarax: Thank you for the comment. I have put the original photo in the article nomination in place of the cropped. Bruxton (talk) 15:37, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

• The age and length look good. The sourcing is acceptable. Both hooks check out and are interesting. No copyvio is apparent from a spot check. I would rather not run the hook in slot 1, since I would like to see a stronger evidence that it is PD than a context-free tag. --Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 18:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
