 * Comment: A nice image for Dec 25th. I can do a cropped pic, which might be better. Johnbod (talk) 05:27, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Page is well-done & adequately sourced. No Copyvio issues. Image appears properly licensed. Hook is interesting, appropriate length, & sourced. Everything is G2G! DaltonCastle (talk) 23:54, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
 * In addition, I agree with the nominator's assessment that it would make a good image for Dec. 25. DaltonCastle (talk) 23:57, 18 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg DaltonCastle, the hook, at 209 characters excluding "(pictured)", is well above the 200-character maximum allowed for DYK. Johnbod, please create a shorter hook. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:47, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

 * I don't see why the dates are needed, why not just:

 * I'll confess that I prefer the hook without the dates as well; I think it's snappier that way. Johnbod, are you okay with that? Also, the Christmas Day prep set is nearly complete and already has a painting in the image slot; would you be willing to have this held for Epiphany/January 6, which I gather is the typical day for celebrating the visit of the Kings/Magi, or some other specific date?

 * Hmmm! A very nasty picture (not a painting) in very low quality reproduction, and not directly relevant to the hook. Not totally sure the copyright status works either, if it isn't originally US. This painting combines (as the article says) the Adoration of the Shepherds (Dec 25) with the Adoration of the Magi, as very many do. Johnbod (talk) 23:39, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
