Bedroom at Arles

(

)

... that Roy Lichtenstein's Bedroom at Arles was based on Vincent van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles (pictured)?

Everything checks out and this is good to go. However, I don't think that the image is necessary given that it's of van Gogh's painting and not Lichtenstein's. Nick-D (talk) 10:55, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Do you mean unnecessary in the article or in the hook?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:43, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

The hook - it's presense on the main page seems likely to confuse readers about what the article they're clicking on is aobut to contain (and very sorry for the slow response). Nick-D (talk) 01:35, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

The picture is in the article that the hook is featuring.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:56, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, but it's not the subject of the article. Nick-D (talk) 03:14, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

It is fairly common for the picture to be of something other than the bolded link.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:34, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

True, but I don't think that it's a good idea - especially in cases like this where the names of the two things are almost identical. Anyway, as noted above I think that this is good to go, and that includes with or without the image. Nick-D (talk) 08:11, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
