Graham Reynolds (art historian) edit
- ... that art historian Graham Reynolds wrote the catalogue raisonné of the works of John Constable?

Good to go in all areas but 2: length, newness, refs, hook, npov etc, are ok. I have made a few minor edits, mostly adding links. If it was me I'd lose the later one-line sections, adding the material higher up, but whatever. My only concerns are: a) minor - it is the only catalogue raisonné, and likely to remain so for a long time, as these things do, and b) The book-cover from the 1980s surely should not be on Commons, and anyway is not okay for the main page I think? The uploader claimed the image was "created" in 1837. Johnbod (talk) 14:33, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- I will look at the other things John. The rationale for the image is that is is an old painting with some words of text overlaid and the addition of simple text is not sufficient to create a new work eligible for copyright protection, hence the PD Old and PD Ineligible licenses. If they had done a lot more graphic design with the cover, that might not be true. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:01, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

- QPQ done. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:50, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- It's based on threshold of originality among other things. You can take a picture of the Mona Lisa and slap some text on and you don't have a copyrightable image just because you have done so, but if you exercise a high degree of originality in what you add it might just rise to the level of being copyrightable. Only a court ruling will determine it definitively for any particular work. But it really doesn't matter as they won't use that pic anyway, so I can delete it from the nom if that is preventing you ticking it. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:31, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- Might be easiest - you could just use an original. Johnbod (talk) 17:15, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

adding the tickmark since the only two requests from the original review have both been done. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
