 * Symbol question.svg - new article, of appropriate length, hook is cited, no copyvio found. However, I'm wary of putting a hook on the main page calling a BLP subject "controversial". I would suggest you feel around for a hook that's a little less BLPishly worrisome. This is my first DYK review. DYK stalkers, please feel free to chime in and tell me if I'm wrong on this.

 * There is nothing pejorative in calling someone "controversial", and if you read Krens's article, he certainly was proudly controversial. However, an ALT hook could be:
 * ... that Richard Armstrong became director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 2008, bringing a curatorial background to the position? -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:04, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that's it's not necessarily pejorative, but I'm being overly cautious because, well, neither you (I assume) nor I wants to have Main Page watchers baying for our blood because of an infelicitous wording. Your alt hook Symbol confirmed.svg checks out fine as far as I'm concerned. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 00:21, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
