  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I keep coming by to promote this, because the image is kind of neat even though it's shadowy. But the approved hook, which the approving editor himself wrote, is really not hooky. Putting the subject's name at the very end of the hook also shifts the focus away from him; readers are more likely to click on the sculpture link instead. I would promote the first hook, except there is no verification in the source that this is what he is "best known" for. (I removed the source from the lead.)
  • However, if this is what he's best known for, I think you should add a short section about it. Other pages on sculptors also list their works and date of completion. The article hardly has any personal information about him, and I've added two tags. An infobox would also be nice.
  • Here is another hook idea:
  • ALT3: ... that Joaquín Bilbao first studied drawing, watercolour, and law before launching a career as a sculptor (work pictured)? Yoninah (talk) 21:42, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Template:Re I have proposed ALT4. It is within 200 word hook length limit and suggested improvements have been made at the article also. ~ Amkgp 💬 04:17, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping thank you. Are you going to say anything about his works in the article? Right now it's all about his professional affiliations. Yoninah (talk) 11:34, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Re {{sfn|Gómez Moriana|2010|p=133-137}} common ref for all added at the start of section 'Selected list of works'. ~ Amkgp 💬 17:00, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
