Mair von Landshut edit
The Balcony
- ... that the prints of Mair von Landshut "resemble whimsical stage sets, and are endowed with an unreal character, like something from a fairy tale"? Quote from: Shestack, Alan, Fifteenth Century Engravings of Northern Europe, 1967, National Gallery of Art (Catalogue), LOC 67-29080
- ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
5x expanded by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 18:35, 10 January 2019 (UTC).
A careful and fascinating article with beautiful pictures. Although the DYK check says you have not expanded it 5 times, I would discount that, because the DYK check is for some reason including the original version's further reading section, which is not prose. So I am saying that the article has been satisfactorily expanded five times. It is new enough, and the hook citation can be accepted IGF. I like the hook because it allows a common window for everyone into a specialist subject. The images are all free, except for the two Martyrdom of Saint Jude Thaddeus paintings, which are on Commons but have a complex licence template relating to Italian law, and requiring payment for any commercial use - I think it's probably OK but that we should ask a copyright expert to decide whether that counts as free. The article is neutral, and the QPQ is OK. So the only potential issue is the Commons licence for the two images of paintings. Storye book (talk) 17:00, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks - DYK check is obviously talking nonsense as the text before, in its entirety, read :"Mair von Landshut (active c. 1485–1510) was a German engraver and painter." I think it is generally not to be trusted on expansions. The hook pic is British Museum, & does not have these concerns (which we normally ignore anyway). The other pics are not a DYK issue.

It's a while since I was involved in DYK, but until a few years ago I remember being pressured as a reviewer to check that all images in the article were correctly licensed. However I've just checked all the DYK-review rules that I can find, and I see no mention of checking all the images used - so thanks for the heads up on this. Good to go then, with hook source accepted AGF. Storye book (talk) 19:02, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
