 * Comment: ALT1 says the painting is 270 feet high, but the article only says it is 270 feet. You need to add to the article that 270 feet is its height. And adding it's width would be appreciated, too. --Usernameunique (talk) 10:22, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Clarified length and added an additional source for that. Unfortunately I don't know the width. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 00:06, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New article, in time, long enough, no copyvios seen, sourced and hook checks out. Looks like this is your first DYK, so no QPQ needed.
