1:
 * Article does not contain a lead section (or, conversely, has too large a lead section) or the Wikipedia-standard hierarchical structure. Article needs to be organized into appropriately titled sections.  See WP:LAYOUT and content suggestions below.
 * Infobox should contain an image,
 * Peacock and weasel words, e.g. “whimsical”, “some of the individual pieces”, etc.
 * In-line citations should come after closest succeeding punctuation mark.
 * Grammar issues including, among others, inappropriate use of commas, e.g. “in various situations, and additional abstract”, incomplete sentences, not starting a sentence with a capital letter, not using commas to offset certain clauses, etc.

3:
 * At a minimum, background should be provided on the Arts for Transit Program, 14th Street–Eighth Avenue New York City Subway station and Tom Otterness.
 * Article content is largely symbolism and media reaction; expansion is needed in other areas present. Additionally, at a minimum, article should discuss how Otterness was chosen (we aren’t even told the year of its commission), his inspiration for the work as a whole (inspiration for money bags is discussed), creation process, reaction of general public and phase-out (if existent).  (The quote “one of the most popular artworks in the subway system” is not sufficient public sentiment; we do not know about “competing” subway artwork; it would easily be the most popular if the only other art is advertisements.)
 * Superfluous information, e.g. NYT “2003 account” contributes nothing to the article.

4:
 * Article does not adequately discuss criticism. Description of the work as "too cute" seems to be a backhanded compliment.  Is anyone bothered that funding was diverted for this?  Does anyone think it’s ugly or intrusive (article implies ca. 100 pieces are present in one station)?
 * Article’s treatment of the subject is approbatory. A neutral tone/quote selection is required.

General:
 * Article content is minimal, disorganized and of questionable neutrality. Significant work is required.  Please let me know if elaboration or assistance is needed.  Ɛƚ ƈơƅƅ ơƚɑ  talk 01:35, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
