- ... that ....?
- ALT1:... that the mecha dieselpunk art of Polish painter Jakub Różalski has inspired a board game, a video game, a short film, and a book anthology?

- Comment: Yet again the hook parameter refuses to display my hook. Shrug. Had to use ALT1 field for it for now. PS. I've asked the artist if he would like to release a photo of himself/his work under a free license. Let's delay promoting this to the main page until I receive a reply (or am ignored for several weeks). Update after ~5 days: no reply yet, send him a Tweet and a FB message. Second update: that worked :D Got a pretty nice set of images, two of him and one of his signature work (he uploaded them himself to Commons, so there should be no copyright issues). See commons:Category:Jakub Różalski for alt images. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:24, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Overall: 
The elements of the hook are cited throughout prose, overall the article could be better laid out and wouldn't suffer from a copyedit, nothing that prevents it passing, though. Kingsif (talk) 17:50, 20 April 2019 (UTC)>
Hi, I came by to promote this. Noticing Kingsif's remark about the copyediting, which of course should be done before promotion, I went over the article and reorganized it. The way it's written, it seems he's done two works, in 2017 and 2018, and the rest of the works mentioned are "inspired" by him. Perhaps he should be credited for more than two works? Please look over the article and make the necessary adjustments/additions. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I've done a minor c/e for clarity. For the reference, the board game has been inspired by him as in - the game designer saw his art and decided to set his game in his universe. The game features dozens of Różalski's illustrations. So it has been inspired by him, but he is also the principal artist for it. I don't know that much about the video game (still unreleased) but I think it's safe to say it has been inspired by his works since his art style / ideas are the main selling points of it, as can be seen in the linked sources. I am unsure to what degree he is involved with this project. There's not much info about the movie, but again the usage of the word inspired seems logical based on the sources. As for the short stories, in this case his involvement is limited to, well, pure inspirations - the book reprints his works, and the stories are either set in his universe, or are tied to it in some forms. FYI I have also shown the hook here to the artist (subject) himself and he thinks it is correct. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:54, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: Thank you, that looks a lot better. One more question about the images. Is the artist allowed to upload one of his works under a public domain license, or should it be fair use? Also, the image of the artist himself is probably not licensed correctly; it was taken by someone else. Yoninah (talk) 11:11, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: The artist presumably owns his work and can license it however he wants, which he did by creating an account and uploading it here. As for the photo, the artist confirmed to me he owns the copyright to them, so per AGF I think we can accept it. It is plausible he set up a tripod on a timer and took such pictures themselves; if he says he owns them I don't think we have a reasonable grounds to question his claims. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:07, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanations. Restoring tick per Kingsif's review. Yoninah (talk) 12:27, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
