Quilt National

 * ... that the Quilt National in 1979 was the first major exhibition of quilt art in the United States and has occurred biennially ever since?

5x expanded by Anarchyshake (talk). Self nominated at 13:17, 11 March 2015 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg This looks really good. The hook fact needs to be included in the article and sourced with an inline citation. Are we sure the File:Dawn Nebula.jpg image is free? I would imagine the rights to the image belong to the artist. gobonobo  + c 03:14, 14 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the input, Gonbonobo, I added the hook to the first sentence of the History and format section, and cited it. As for the image, it was uploaded by the artist to wikimedia commons. Anarchyshake (talk) 16:06, 14 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you Anarchyshake. 5x expansion of readable prose (308 B → 2864 B), long enough, and within policy. Article is written neutrally and sourced with inline citations. One concern is that the expanded sections of the article are a little heavy with self-published sources (WP:SELFSOURCE). It would be nice if some of the added content was sourced to a reference such as:
 * or one of the first four references instead of the Dairy Barn website. No close paraphrasing was detected. Hook is formatted correctly (biennially could be unlinked), interesting, cited, and neutral. QPQ not required here. gobonobo  + c 02:07, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, if the image is stable on commons, it might make a nice addition:

 * Gobonobo, Anarchyshake has not modified the article since your most recent review a month ago nor posted here since them, and has made only a few Wikipedia edits at all. The image was uploaded by the quilt's creator, so that appears to be in order. I guess the questions are whether the new sourcing for the expansion is adequate (the four clearly independent sources were all there in the original, though they are used to support the added material as well, while the new sources are all, as you point out, from the Quilt National or its venue). Can you please give this a final review? Since both hook texts are identical, I don't see any conflict in you reviewing ALT1. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:42, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

No close paraphrasing was detected. Hooks are formatted correctly, interesting, cited, and neutral. Image is free, used in the article, and renders well at 100 × 100px.
