- 16px I've re-cut this article and added new sources so this might encourage a new editor Victuallers (talk) 22:53, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- 16px Nice job, Victuallers. I also did some copyediting to move this clear of close paraphrasing. Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced. No close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. The current hook ref is AGF, but I'm just wondering if we could try something a little more hooky:

... that Irish botanical artist Lydia Shackleton, who painted over 1500 botanical studies, helpfully taped a genuine pressed flower or leaf to her work for comparison with the painted subject?Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

- While I'm including the image, I don't think it's necessary; in fact, without it, yours could be the last hook in the set, which is always well-read. Also be aware that very few hooks appear with the image suggested. But I've added the image anyway.
- 16px Since DYK rules prohibit me from approving my own hook, could another reviewer sign off on this? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:12, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- File:Symbol confirmed.svg I'm happy with the hook (I tweaked it), if you are happy with the article then I think thats a "go" Victuallers (talk) 22:34, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
