Ernst Friedrich von Liphart

 * ... that before Tsar Nicholas (pictured by Lipgart) gave his Empress a piano, he had Earnest Lipgart paint 100 figures on it?

Created by Victuallers (talk). Self nominated at 01:49, 4 January 2014 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg 1. Article meets DYK criteria (created on 31 December, readable prose size at 3358 characters, not a stub). 2. Hook is referenced and verified on the website of Nicholas and Alexandra - The Last Imperial Family of Tsarist Russia exhibition). 3. Just some concerns about the image(s) though: firstly, the image of Tsar Nicholas II proposed for the DYK entry as he isn't the subject of the nominated article—there is an self-portrait of Lipgart in the infobox, could that be used instead? Also with both these images, there is a warning on the Commons files that they must have a PD-US tag, can this be sorted out? 4. As this is a self-nomination, you need to do a "quid-pro-quo" (QPQ) review of another nomination, please let me know if/when you have done one. --Canley (talk) 05:36, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Canley - QPQ = Osvaldo Civile. I have added a tag for US copyright as requested. I'm not sure I understand your question about the choice of images. The picture chosen is by Lipgart and is a lot more eye-catching than any of the other pictures. If someone wants to propose an alternative hook then please have a go but I believe that this is the most hooky image available. (A free image of the piano would be my first choice but I cant find one). cheers Victuallers (talk) 08:42, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for the QPQ and the image tagging, all good to go. Sorry, ignore my comment about the image of the Nicholas II, as long as Lipgart did the image, that's fine for the hook. --Canley (talk) 10:58, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
