(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

Comments[edit]

I'm concerned about the licensing dispute going on in the file description for this article's image. Based on my familiarity with the GA criteria where illustration is concerned, doesn't that need to be cleared up before we move forward?
- There's no licensing dispute - the PD-Italy template apparently can't recognize the fact that the page also contains the PD-US tag.
Isn't it a bit irregular to have a "main article" icon connect to a red-linked page, as in "Design"? Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 11:30, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe - I just haven't gotten around to writing it up yet. Parsecboy (talk) 11:55, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ah, understood. Thanks for clearing these up! Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 01:37, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With the questions above satisfactorily addressed, I am confident that this article qualifies for GA. Congratulations! Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 01:41, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
