 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life and work, on good sources, Swedish sources accepted AGF. I added an image and suggest to word something around his art rather than his Estonian-Swedish identity which I had to read several times. (Sorry if that is just me.) "Portable sunsets" seems catchy. If you want to stick with the original fact, please clarify that he was a refugee from Estonia clearly and sooner, and anyway in the article lead. Is there a more elegant wording for "Motives for his arts-pieces"? Please provide a publisher for all references, and a date if known. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:59, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * - I have taken care of the issues you mentioned, and added two more hooks. If there are more issues or suggestions let me know.BabbaQ (talk) 12:02, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, good ideas. I tweaked ALT1 a bit (Russian ...), but again don't think it's much about his art, - the precise place of landing with all links seems of no interest (to me). Stopping after trawler might work, indicating. I understand that "since" is used too much by us foreigners and should better be "from". Does the year matter? Is the subway station a sunset? If not please reword as ALT4. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:12, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * If you agree with me, ALT1 seems to be the best. I think we have a winner. It is really interesting.BabbaQ (talk) 12:15, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg I like to please, perhaps we can get the art on board of the trawler after all. I included Sweden. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Looks great. Thanks.BabbaQ (talk) 12:40, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Sorry to barge in here, but the hook should replace "Russian" with "Soviet"; Estonia was occupied by the Soviet union in 1940, Russia didn't exist then. Best, Yakikaki (talk) 12:17, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg On second thought, it's such a small change I might as well do it myself :) Best, Yakikaki (talk) 12:24, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
