The Flag (O'Keeffe painting)

 * ... that Georgia O'Keeffe painted The Flag in 1918 to express her anxiety about her brother's participation in World War I, and her pacifist sentiment?
 * ALT1:... that Georgia O'Keeffe painted "The Flag in 1918, but didn't display it until decades later, when she wouldn't be jailed or blacklisted for painting a picture of a red flag."
 * ALT2:... that Georgia O'Keeffe painted "The Flag to express her objection to the war in 1918, one year after the passage of the Espionage Act of 1917, which criminalized expression of anti-war sentiment. It was not exhibited until 1968."
 * ALT3:... that, objecting to WWI, Georgia O'Keeffe painted The Flag, but it was not displayed until 1968, in part because anti-war sentiment was criminalized with the Espionage Act of 1917?

 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, seems neutral. Main hook checks out. The ALT1 hook, which is perhaps more interesting, is referenced to a relatively respectable blog, but the bio of the author of the post concludes "Now he's just an office administrator for a stage equipment company in Center City." No doubt he's correct, but is there a better ref? Earwig says: "Violation Unlikely, 4.8% confidence". Not sure if the picture is ok for main page - the work dates to 1918, but was it "published" before 1923? ALT1 hook suggests not. Does any copyright specialist know?

 * HI, Thanks for performing the review! Regarding the Gary L. Day posting - I had been going back and forth with the other Broad Street Review by a former editor and it hadn't hit me that his was a blog entry by a basic contributor, sorry I missed that! I edited the article using "NYT" and a book for that sentence, but am unable to find anything anywhere else that mentions that she didn't show the painting due to the espionage act. The painting was in a private collection when it was first exhibited in 1968. I made this changes to the article in this diff.
 * I struck out Alt1 and added Alt2 above.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 03:05, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I make that 227 characters - it need to be 200 or fewer. I think it can be compressed. Johnbod (talk) 00:43, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Is Alt3 short enough? I get 177 characters with just the seen words, punctuation, and spaces.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 15:47, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT3 (not the pic). ALT3 is short enough, and checks out. For other article points see above. But I suspect the pic is not ok for main page. O'Keefe only died in the 1980s & the pic seems not have been published before 1923. I'm ready to be corrected on this though. Johnbod (talk) 17:50, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg ALT3 is not a question, see WP:DYKHOOK. I also question the use of direct quotes in the hook. FallingGravity 20:49, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, made edits to ALT3.— CaroleHenson &thinsp; (talk) 23:20, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT3 (not the pic), as adjusted. It was only "not a question" through lacking the "?". Quote paraphrased, sufficiently to avoid copyvio (just). Johnbod (talk) 06:11, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
