 * Hook: Short enough, interesting. Needs a reference directly after the quote.
 * Article: New enough, long enough. Well referenced. Paraphrasing checks against FN 1 and 5 shows no close paraphrasing.

 * Which source is the quote in, FN 2 or 4? It's a single line, so it should be one source. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:56, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * FN 2. -- Supernova Explosion   Talk  01:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Reference doesn't agree with what's in the article. He says "the most perfect painting of the nude in the past century", which (depending on when he wrote) could include part of the 20th century Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:56, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
