Picture for Women

 * ... that Picture for Women by Canadian artist Jeff Wall is a photographic response to Édouard Manet's last major painting A Bar at the Folies-Bergère (pictured)?

Created by Freshacconci (talk). Self nominated at 19:41, 1 September 2013 (UTC).

An interesting, well-written and informative addition to the encyclopedia. Well researched with good references. I made links to various museums mentioned because I think readers would want them. Subject to fixing the following small things, the article is good to go: And finally,
 * The Melbourne University link (Naomi Merritt) is broken.
 * Add a reference in the lead to verify the main point about the work referencing Manet (the Tate reference would work or the ones used in the “Description” section.)
 * Some other references to particular claims would help. For example, citations needed for: “Wall considers Picture for Women to be his first success in challenging photographic tradition” and “Wall has been a key figure in Vancouver's art scene since the early 1970s.” Presumably a number of the sources verify these claim. The sources are already in the article but they need to be connected to the claims.
 * It would be good if the David Campany book were added to the Afterall article, especially since this is mentioned in the lead.
 * Why is reference #11 appearing all in italics? Can’t work it out.

 * has a QPQ review been done?
 * I've never submitted an article for DYK before so I'm not sure if I'm now supposed to respond or just wait for other comments, if any. But in any case, thank you for your notes. They are very useful and fair. I will work on making those changes today.  freshacconci  talk to me  14:21, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Not sure about the last point, a QPQ review....  freshacconci  talk to me  16:08, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * As you have fewer than five DYK credits, you are exempt from the QPQ requirement. I've taken the liberty of adding an image, which boosts the profile of your hook, usually with a corresponding increase in the number of people viewing your article. If you'd rather not use the image, just say so. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  19:37, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Using the Manet image is a great idea. It never occurred to me. I didn't include an image in the proposal as the Wall image is non-free -- I'm guessing that would never fly on the main page. Thanks!  freshacconci  talk to me  14:51, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Article good to go now. The first appearance of the Merritt link was also bad so I replaced it with your revised version. Now the full link is there twice, so you could if you wanted, remove the link component from the "Notes" section and leave it in the "References" section. Up to you. I enjoyed learning from this article about the Manet re-manifestation. I asked about the QPQ because I had forgotten to do it myself earlier. Whiteghost.ink (talk) 23:36, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's great -- thanks for your help.  freshacconci  talk to me  14:51, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
