Wikipedia:Peer review/Untitled from Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol/archive1

Untitled from Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol
I've listed this article for peer review because it is my first article on Wikipedia and I am not exactly sure on the tone and format of writing required. I have stuck to mostly factual and source based article writing but not sure if my article resembles too much of an essay style. Furthermore, I'm unsure about the the format of the media captions and if they are in line with articles in the Art category. I would like some help on what else should be added in terms of templates or format style for art articles. My sections are spaced out and seem blocky, should I include sub heading within the major headings? Also, within each section I'm not sure if I am correctly sticking to the main topic or if my focus drifts.

Thanks, Fisa2702 (talk) 12:10, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Lead section

In addition to copy-editing the lead section, I bolded Untitled from Marilyn Monroe. Manual of Style/Lead section. I think the title of the article should be "Untitled from Marilyn Monroe". Article titles: "Conciseness – The title is no longer than necessary to identify the article's subject and distinguish it from other subjects." and Article titles: "The goal of conciseness is to balance brevity with sufficient information to identify the topic to a person familiar with the subject area.

For example:
 * The official name of Rhode Island, used in various state publications, is State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. Both titles are precise and unambiguous, but Rhode Island is the most concise title to fully identify the subject.
 * The full name of Fiona Apple's 1999 album is 90 words and 444 characters long, but it is abbreviated in sources (and in its Wikipedia title) to When the Pawn...."

I added wikilinks to Marilyn Monroe and Niagara.

History/Influences

In addition to copy-editing, I removed "sorrowful" and "infamous", which violate WP:Neutral point of view. I added wikilinks for Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Neo-Dada. I replaced " [1] " with ' '. I believe the first sentence of the third paragraph needs a citation. While some editors put all their citations at the end of each paragraph, this sentence has a quote, which should be sourced.

Subject of the Work

Besides copy-editing, I changed the name of the section, divided it into two sections and added wikilinks. I added material from the lead section about a promotional still by Gene Kornman for Niagara being the basis for the work.

Analysis

"The only difference between the 10 works are the imperfections, smudges and blurriness attributed to the commercial process of the silkscreen technique." --- According to the first sentence of the second paragraph of the lead, "each print has been recognised as a stand-alone and is named after the colours in the work".

I copy-edited the paragraph, making some assumptions about what you intended to say. If the results are not what you intended to say, that will give you an idea of what you need to fix. I added material from the lead section about artistic appropriation.

Technique

Besides copy-editing, I added a wiki-link for The Factory

Critical and Commercial Reception

I created a new section and copied material from the lead section. The lead should be a summary of the body of the article. And critical and commercial reception belongs in an article about an art work.
