  • Comment to Viriditas: thanks for providing so many QPQs! Most of them check out, but No Rome is not a full review as required by a QPQ guidelines, so I've struck it. I'm shaky on Weaponization of antisemitism, as it's also not a full-review, but given the depth of the quickfail, I'm inclined to say that's okay. Good luck with this nom, looks great! :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:42, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Looks to me like Bogger holds both credits for doing both reviews, in case they don't know that they're entitled to use that nom a second time :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:43, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
      • @Theleekycauldron: Thank you. I completely missed that. Viriditas (talk) 01:52, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
        • I updated it with a third hook. Will update with a fourth shortly. I removed the other two since it still shows up in what links here and that could throw people off. Viriditas (talk) 00:22, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
This nomination needs a full review. Z1720 (talk) 18:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Review: Article recently created. Article is easily long enough (1328 words). The article is neutral. The article is well sourced. Each suggested hook is cited in the article. There are no close paraphrasing concerns. Hooks are accurate, sourced, and all of them interesting. Personally, I like ALT1 or ALT2, with perhaps the addition of the artist's name and year of creation, which shouldn't remove from its brevity much nor go over the word limit. Less keen on ALT0 or ALT3. My reasons: 0 first seems slightly trivial in the context of such a magnificent piece, while 3 is slightly... academic. Both 1 and 2 touch on loneliness, surely one of the most universal emotions experienced throughout the globe. Suggest something like, but without prejudice to the nom's preference:

The painting speaks to a global audience through the still, silent figure of a single, drab, almost monochromatic individual. Fantastic painting. Hopper is alienation distilled on canvas. QPQs done. Good to go. ——Serial Number 54129 17:58, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm happy with 1A, but I don't know how Viriditas feels about having a blue link (Hopper's name) come before the link to the nominated page (myself, I don't care about that). --Tryptofish (talk) 21:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
I'll defer to Tryptofish in this matter, as he has taken the lead on this nom. Viriditas (talk) 21:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
