 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hi Daniel Case, review follows: article created from redirect 24 January; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources throughout; no overly close paraphrasing noticed from the English language sources; image confirmed as freely and correctly licensed; QPQ has been carried out; the first hook fact is mentioned in the article and backed up by the source, however the NYT article used as the source for the recovery hook states "the French authorities confirmed on Friday that the painting had been recovered on Feb. 16 by customs officers randomly searching the luggage compartment of a bus at a highway stop" so the date seems to be wrong? - Dumelow (talk) 08:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Fixed Yup, you're correct, and a review of other articles shows the Times didn't get it wrong. Perhaps I subconsciously wanted two extra days for this to be considered Face-smile.svg . Daniel Case (talk) 17:08, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
