I Know...Brad
Created/expanded by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self nom at 13:14, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * ... that Ellen H. Johnson says Roy Lichtenstein's I Know...Brad was descended from Ingres' Madame Moitessier (pictured)?


 * 1st of 2 QPQs against Template:Did you know nominations/Eustache-Hyacinthe and Espérance Langlois.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:09, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Not  long enough  if we exclude the  huge quote in the third paragraph. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * What is the basis for the exclusion of such text?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:18, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * P.S. I am still at work on this article. I have three more books to go through for articles in Category:Paintings by Roy Lichtenstein .--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:18, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Because it's not text original to Wikipedia. Similar to the PD issue a while back, and one of your  nominations below which was removed from the Preps by Nikkimaria for the same reason. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:17, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not aware of a nomination below removed from Preps. Please advise.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:19, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Above, sorry. Roto Broil. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:30, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I am still researching these articles. I have 11 books checked out from the Chicago Public Library and have requests that 4 more be sent from outlying branches to my local branch. I expect those to arrive by next week.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:37, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, on hold. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:26, 22 May 2012 (UTC)


 * I found a bit more.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:11, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You still have two overly long quotes ("...look hard, crisp, brittle, ... " and "The slick black contours ... ") — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:30, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree that the first one needs any special treatment.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:47, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * As the article stands, without the quotes it is not 1500 characters. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:56, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If I understand the rules only block quotes are discounted.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:57, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * And per DYK rule 2d): "In practice, articles longer than 1,500 characters may still be rejected as too short, at the discretion of the selecting reviewers" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:02, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not looking for a pissing contest. Right now, you see all the content I can muster. I am in possession of 14 books and have 5 more on order from the Library. WP will know everything I can learn. That is all I can do.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:05, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I do not appreciate disagreement over length being called a "pissing contest". The article is 1502 characters right now, including about 200 characters in quotes. Although this is above 1500 characters, it is still a stub. An easy way to avoid this would be to paraphrase or summarise some of the quotes. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:17, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If the rest of my sources come up empty, I will make the necessary changes to the current content to make it passable. There is still a lot of info coming from the anticipated sources, I suspect.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:59, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, still on hold. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:51, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I can find no more content. The most recent book has the image but does not reference it the prose as far as I can tell. I am at the end of the rope in terms of ordering books on this topic (except possibly taking a look at the production for the current exhibition at some point in the future).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:41, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
