  • ... that the Holocaust Wall Hangings (pictured, "Yellow Star") are a series of fabric banners created between 1988 and 2002, that illustrate the plight of the Jewish people and other minorities during the Holocaust? Source: "Liberman began working on Holocaust subjects after her husband's death in 1986." "Of the 60 'Holocaust Wall Hangings' that comprise the series, one is at Yad Vashem, Jerusalem; 14 are in the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg; and 45 are now in The Temple collection." from "Powerful works on fabric a tribute to Holocaust" Cleveland Jewish News By FRAN HELLER April 30, 2003

  • Epicgenius} I have supplied the missing quotation marks on the statement by Soltes. I have fixed Ref 25. I will ask George David NH to address the issue of Ref 5 and to help find a better source for these statements (the schools where the artist studied art). Otherwise we will remove them from the article. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 17:00, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
I am curious, what MOS provisions is the article not in compliance with? I had thought we were pretty much adhering to the MOS. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 17:00, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Personally, I would think that the names of publications like The New York Times would be italicized. Also, the word "responses" in the heading "Critical Responses" is supposed to be lowercase, and the name of the work "Powerful works on fabric a tribute to Holocaust" should be capitalized. Just some nitpicks, and they're not really that important for promotion anyway. epicgenius (talk) 18:24, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, Epicgenius} I have corrected the italics and capitolization of titles. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 20:37, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Epicgenius}, an additional cite for the schools attended has been provided by George David NH. Does this now address the issues with this nom? DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 20:45, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
@DESiegel: Yes, I think that about covers it. Thank you for your prompt responses. This article is now good to go. epicgenius (talk) 22:55, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

  • Resolved issues:
    • The following sentence is poorly sourced. Ref #5, being the home page for the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, does not even support the claim: In 1956, she turned her attention to the arts [2] and began studying drawing, painting, sculpture, and other art mediums at the Art Institute of Boston (then called the School of Practical Art), the School of the Museum of Fine Arts,[5] the DeCordova Museum School, the Boston University College of Fine Arts, and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
    • Ref 25 does not support the sentence it is verifying, as that leads to a landing page for the Boston Public Library website.
    • Most direct quotes are attributed, but there is one sentence fragment copied from a source without quotation marks.
    • This article could be cleaned up to comply with the Manual of Style (the "Critical Responses" section in particular). This isn't a policy issue, but rather a suggestion, as the MOS is not a policy.
