 * Symbol confirmed.svg Expanded fivefold in last week, long enough, within policy, interesting and cited hook with a nice picture. Also a lovely, fantastically well illustrated article in general. Joe Roe (talk) 09:10, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but notice that the source says it is the earliest painted portrait of an English king wearing a crown. I changed it in the article; can I change it here? Yoninah (talk) 21:24, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * No, I'll find another source. I think it was right first time. Johnbod (talk) 03:32, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that the earliest painted portrait of a reigning English king is a presentation miniature showing Æthelstan c. 934 (illustrated)?
 * Changed to "portrait of a reigning English king" per good new source. There may be some earlier image of a dead king, though heaven knows what. Thanks. Johnbod (talk) 03:30, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. New wording nicely paraphrases source; hook ref verified and cited inline. Image is freely licensed. Rest of review per Joe Roe. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 08:48, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
