Jan Matejko
- Reviewed: Aleksander Lesser
- Comment: ALT1: ... that Jan Matejko (self-portrait pictured), one of the most famous Polish painters, is known for his large canvases and historical themes?
Improved to Good Article status by Piotrus (talk). Self nominated at 16:07, 22 August 2014 (UTC).
- QPQ done. Article improved to good article status ten days before nominations which means nomination was three days late, but I think we should let that pass. Article is inline cited; mostly to off-line Polish sources, but some online sources in English. No copyvio/close paraphrasing detected. Photos out of copyright. As for the hook, I think the main proposal is more about Poland's history than about Matejko specifically. The alternative hook is a bit dull. I propose the following hoook (which is sourced to an off-line source):
- ALT 2: ... that the Polish painter Jan Matejko (self-portrait pictured) transported arms to the insurgents' camp during the January Uprising of 1863?
- So I invite Piotrus to comment on the hook issue. Otherwise, Good to go (if the nomination delay is accepted). Iselilja (talk) 21:29, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Iselilja: The hook is good, but it misses the claim about Matejko being one of Polish most famous painters. Could we squeeze the following one? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:02, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
- ALT 3: ... that Jan Matejko (self-portrait pictured), one of the most famous Polish painters, transported arms to the insurgents' camp during the January Uprising of 1863?
- Very fine. (Inserted the photo caption also). Good to Go (AGF for the gunrunning claim; "most famous" is sourced elsewhere in the article). Iselilja (talk) 16:19, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
