 * I know you linked "Bodegón" .. would it be possible to give a very brief description so you don't lose your readers to another article?
 * Done.

 * Career:
 * "By 1630, he was in a commercial agreement with Medina del Campo for business of his paintings at the town's various fairs." I have no idea what is meant here - was del Campo selling Yepes' paintings at fairs? Or what?
 * "Medina del Campo was in a contract of 220 Valencian pounds with Castile for trade and fairs" again - this reads like a bad machine translation - waht is meant here?
 * Clarified both.


 * Legacy:
 * "However, he was only mentioned in a publication of wide circulation over a century after his death—in 1800, when" ... this is unclear to me also - what is meant by this is something I'm not able to even begin to parse out.
 * A couple of sources I have found mention that Yepes was a well-known figure in Valencia, and yet he did not receive any significant recognition in Spain or outside the Kingdom of Valencia. They imply that it was strange for a person as prominent as Yepes to not have received wider reception (getting published in a book of wide circulation was considered to be prestigious). I have tried to clarify with "Despite of his local significance, he was only..." Or would you recommend rephrasing it in a different way? — The Most Comfortable Chair 13:46, 10 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Have any other big retrospectives happened since 1995?
 * When I was expanding the article I looked for sources or events that explored Yepes in detail post-1995. But I could only find catalogs and brief mentions of his paintings in books that discussed artworks in general. I looked again but I highly doubt that there have been any new substantial discoveries or studies on his life or else something would have turned up in those searches. — The Most Comfortable Chair 13:46, 10 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Sources -
 * Make sure that any non-English sources have their language noted - I saw that "Varios Autores; Silvia Spitta; Valeria Wagner (2018)" does not at least.
 * The pages cited in the source are written in English. Should I still add the language parameter? — The Most Comfortable Chair 13:46, 10 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm taking the reliability of the non-English sources on faith.
 * Usual practice is to alphabetize the sources by last name of the author - this appears to be just jumbled up however.
 * Done.


 * I randomly googled three phrases and only turned up Wikipedia mirrors. Earwig's tool no copyright concerns - the one thing it flagged is an obvious wikipedia scrape.
 * I did do some copyediting, please make sure I didn't change any sourced text beyond what the sources will support or that I haven't broken anything. Note that I did a LOT of copyediting on this... please make sure I haven't introduced errors.
 * I've put the article on hold for seven days to allow folks to address the issues I've brought up. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, or here with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

 * Thank you for the review. Real life has been way too hectic lately but I have some free time now. I will starting working on these soon. Best. — The Most Comfortable Chair 06:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

 * , I was wandering by, perhaps a ping:, pardon, I thought it conceivable you missed this. ~ cygnis insignis 22:48, 6 May 2021 (UTC)


 * ARGH... life has been insane. I'm passing this now. Ealdgyth (talk) 21:31, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
