The hook is good, neutral, supported by a good reference, but the article isn't as neutral as it could be. "He worked prodigiously" / "His work was groundbreaking in that he would often use models " is lavish praise. Stick to the facts. He worked a lot, sure. Prodigiously? Groundbreaking? Either give a source for this opinion, or rephrase those sentences. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 18:14, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've updated the refs/wording as per your review. Thanks. yorkshiresky (talk) 19:22, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All clear now. Support main proposal over ALT1. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:43, 11 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Headbomb, your review does not cover the important copyvio/close paraphrasing/plagiarism DYK criteria. Can you please check this as well? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:51, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * BlueMoonset I've seen nothing that struck me as a unacceptably close paraphrasing/plagiarism. Some things are worded similarly e.g. "Peterson was born in Stockholm in 1923 and grew up in Örebro, before returning to Stockholm where he studied to become an illustrator." [Wikipedia] vs "Born in Stockholm in 1923, Peterson grew up in Örebro, a city in the heart of Sweden, later returning to Stockholm to study and work as an illustrator for an ad agency" but there's not 247 ways to say this information and no one, I feel, would think this is plagiarism.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Restoring Headbomb's tick per said reviewer's check of the article against the copyvio/close paraphrasing/plagiarism criterion. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:19, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Pulled from hook and discussion reopened per WT:DYK. Hook was sourced but clearly incorrect. Fram (talk) 13:58, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Striking original hook; article will need to be updated per the above discussion. Are there any issues with ALT1? BlueMoonset (talk) 16:14, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT1 I believe is well sourced and is reasonably uncontroversial. I've also added an ALT2 which I believe is more interesting and in keeping with the original hookline. Again I think this sourced sufficiently, but will let others review it. yorkshiresky (talk) 09:24, 2 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed to check both ALT hooks. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:14, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approving ALT1 which is interesting and has an inline citation. Striking ALT2 because "first ever" claims are always risky, and anyway, someone has to be the first so it is not particularly interesting. Relying for the rest of the review on HEADBOMB's assessment.
