Hi, I'm starting this review. I should be done by Monday at the latest.Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 21:39, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Here are replies to specific items of concern mentioned above. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 01:45, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 6a: The source of the scan is unknown. That it's in that museum is not in question. I've added a clarification to the image on Commons and added a ref to the listing in the article. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:09, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Fantastic! Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 3b: I included the information since I thought it was relevant as his early life. His grandfather, father, and perhaps his brother could all have individual articles if I did a little more research. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:15, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the information might as well go on the page. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 1b: I'll move the citations out of the lead. Back when this was written, it was much more common to include refs in the lead. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:15, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * This is done. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:28, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 2b: There's not really anything I can do here. I can bring the offline sources to you so you can look at them if you wish. Otherwise, there's nothing for me to do here. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:37, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was a reminder to myself to see what other sources I could check. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 2a: I'll see about including a ref for every entry. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:37, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It looks like this is the last thing to fix. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm curious: do you want a ref for paragraph that states where he is buried? There's a picture showing his headstone (I actually asked someone at a WikiProject to take the picture, which they did, and then they uploaded it). I'd have to look to see if there is any print (online or off) that states this. I figured the picture would be good enough for that. Outside of that, the lead, and the paintings in the list, there are no paragraphs that don't have at least one ref in them. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 20:09, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I dug around and found a ref for where he's buried. All of the paintings have individual refs now. I also added a few more I found when looking for information. Everything should be good now. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 22:07, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Nice job finding the sources for the paintings. Each paragraph should have a citation at the end of it. I put cn tags in the two spots I'm thinking of. I tried to find a source for the house not doing tours but instead I found this Facebook page stating that there was a tour last year, maybe though the Ballston Lake site?

 * It's possible that I'm being over-zealous in requiring these citations... They're not required at the end of every paragraph like in DYK. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 22:35, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * DYK only requires that every paragraph have a citation, not that it end with one. Regardless, I've added refs for the two items. Is there anything else that needs work? I appreciate your help in pointing out areas of improvement for this article. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 23:29, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I see, sorry about requiring more and thanks for adding the extra citations. The page definitely passes GA! Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:54, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * 1a: What is there is what was in the source. He was fishing at the lake and discovered the property where he eventually built a studio. The source doesn't include any additional information. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:39, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, sometimes sources aren't as clear as we'd like. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Please let me know if there is anything else that should be fixed. Thanks! ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 22:07, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
