• ... that the ceramicist Sandy Brown wanted her sculpture Earth Goddess to be "female and making an impact"? Source: [Brown says her creation, which won't look like a conventional human figure, is designed to celebrate being a woman. "I really wanted this sculpture to make an impact and I wanted her to be female and making an impact," https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-57551846?fbclid=IwAR21pkQyypJHcI8-bCiZcRsmgKtNlXfqWFb92iBOnPekn5jZPIAQLzwzx1g UK's tallest ceramic sculpture to be erected in Cornwall, BBC News, 22 June 2022]

• Sandy Brown: I have removed several paragraphs of unreferenced content that you added below the footer. The edit looked like as if you were adding prose for later referencing to an article in draft space. Given that this is already in mainspace, this is inappropriate. With the unreferenced content removed, this is still a stub and DYK does not accept stubs. Feel free to expand this (soon as there is a time limit for new content) so that it meets eligibility criteria. Maybe have a read of the rules: WP:DYKRULES. I have only reviewed the bio and not the article for the sculpture. Schwede66 23:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
• Earth Goddess: That article is new enough and long enough. Clear of copyvio, but... much of the article is made of direct quotations. The prose size of the article as of right now is 2891 bytes of readable prose. I've made a copy of that version in my sandbox and put all direct quotes into <blockquote></blockquote> templates; doing so leaves a readable prose of 1972 bytes. Hence, 919 bytes or 32% of the prose is direct quotations. There are no hard and fast rules as to how much text can be as direct quotes but I suggest that one third is way too much. Can I therefore suggest that you please dial back the amount of direct quotation in the article? Please say (here's good) when that's done and I shall take another look. This review is obviously not complete yet but without the issue being addressed, it couldn't run so I will review the remaining criteria once you've addressed this issue.

  • Sorry, I have been away. I will seek to expand the prose today. Many thanks for your gleaning efforts. No Swan So Fine (talk) 09:40, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
    • @No Swan So Fine: Neither article was expanded on the 9th. Will you still be able to address the concerns raised above? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 05:08, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
    • I'll work on them now. No Swan So Fine (talk) 10:26, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
      • I've expanded Brown's article. No Swan So Fine (talk) 13:40, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
        • I've struck ALT0 as the article about the sculpture has issues. I've created ALT1 and it differs from ALT0 in that I've shown the article link for the sculpture in italics (because it's a named sculpture) and not in bold font (i.e. effectively removing it from the nomination). Let that not stop you from fixing up that article, No Swan So Fine. The Brown bio is now long enough, neutral, suitably referenced. Now that the sculpture article has been removed, the hook fact will have to be copied across to the bio – this is the first outstanding issue. The hook is interesting enough. Earwig is happy. The second outstanding issue is that a QPQ is missing. If this gets promoted with a single article in bold, could the promoter please remove the DYK credit DYKmake|Earth Goddess (sculpture)|No Swan So Fine|subpage=Earth Goddess (sculpture) from this form?

• I have moved and cited the hook fact as requested, but a QPQ is still needed. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:32, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
  • I've added my review. Many thanks to everybody who has helped. No Swan So Fine (talk) 13:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
    • ALT1 is good to go. Schwede66 19:12, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
