 * ... that Yellow and Green Brushstrokes was part of Roy Lichtenstein's Brushstrokes series?


 * Reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Teuruarii IV--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:45, 16 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Lengths and dates check out, sufficiently referenced. The majority of the sources are offline, and I could not check for plagiarism in these. However, the many quotes provided in the references of the Brushstrokes series article, and their representation in the article text, make me confident that the text in both articles has not been plagiarised. --Pgallert (talk) 11:00, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I am not happy with the hook. It does not say that these are paintings, and it is kind of, errm, unsurprising. Would it be possible to press the particular uniqueness of this series (that a painstaking procedure has been applied to make them appear as effortless brushstrokes) into 200 DYK hook characters? --Pgallert (talk) 11:00, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * (ALT1)... that Roy Lichtenstein's painting Yellow and Green Brushstrokes was part of his Brushstrokes series that depicts the spontaneous human brushstroke act in his quasi-mechanical way?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:42, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg ALT1 is good to go, AGF on offline references. --Pgallert (talk) 07:49, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg TonyTheTiger has stated that he will be looking to add a third article to this nomination. So I've pulled it from the prep area. I guess we'll just put this nomination on hold until Tony does add that third article. Then the nomination will probably need to be reviewed again.--Carabinieri (talk) 18:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

(ALT2) ... that Roy Lichtenstein's Little Big Painting and Yellow and Green Brushstrokes are in his Brushstrokes series that depicts gestural painting's human brushstroke in a quasi-mechanical way?
 * No prob, but the third article is not ready yet (too small, maintenance template). Just ping once it should be reviewed. --Pgallert (talk) 19:55, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess it has enough characters. You can review it now.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Per DYK formalities, paragraph 1 of Little Big Painting needs at least one reference. Otherwise fine, although 13 chars over 1500 is not a comfortable margin--be careful with further copyediting. Also throwing in some other hook suggestions (ALT4 is at 225 chars which would be fine for this triple nomination). --Pgallert (talk) 14:05, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * (ALT3)... that Little Big Painting and Yellow and Green Brushstrokes, part of Roy Lichtenstein's Brushstrokes series, parody the gestural painting of Abstract Expressionism?
 * (ALT4)... that Little Big Painting and Yellow and Green Brushstrokes, part of Roy Lichtenstein's Brushstrokes series, parody the gestural painting of Abstract Expressionism by resembling smooth reproductions of their art works?


 * Paragraph 1 no longer needs references because it is the WP:LEAD.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I like ALT3, but why didn't you link gestural painting?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg for ALT2, ALT3, and ALT4. I also prefer ALT3. I linked gestural painting but feel that the hook is now a bit of a blue sea. --Pgallert (talk) 16:25, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we are suppose to avoid redirects when possible, so maybe gestural should be changed to action.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:19, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
