 * Symbol possible vote.svg Fails verification. No evidence that this or this are describing the painting in the article. Other than that not too bad. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment They aren't - those sources are about ANOTHER Degas painting with a similar title (The Dance Class, painted 1874). This article should be renamed to "The Dance Lesson (1879)" as there is at least one other Degas painting with this title, or the article should be expanded with details on the other "Dance Lesson" to avoid confusion. This is something that whoever does "The Dance Class" should bear in mind as Degas did at least six/seven unique paintings with that title! Mabalu (talk) 10:20, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Stuff like "The works were moved to the gallery in 1929, after Havemeyer's death." only holds true to the one version, and is  not supported for this  one. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:07, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment Sigh. I'll tidy it up. The errors are too massive and egregious to be allowed to remain as they are. Mabalu (talk) 10:44, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * OK - Quick rescue job done. Almost total rewrite, complete re-referencing. I did find a great hook:
 * ALT4:... that in The Dance Lesson, an 1879 painting by Edgar Degas, an exhausted dancer sits on a double bass?
