Interesting article. The nominated page is both long and enough. Found no obvious copyvio and the sourcing is appropriate. As for the hook, I could not verify that "Su Hanchen is known for his paintings of children". I suggest the nominator to suggest an alternative pictured hook regrading file:One Hundred Children in the Long Spring.jpg. This would be quite interesting for the main page but the nom is free to make his/her suggestion. --Mhhossein ^talk 06:05, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the citations provided in the article i.e. Watson 1981, p.608 & Finanne 2022, p.395. Even a cursory online search would show that Su Hanchen was an acclaimed painter of children. I don't have enough material on that particular painting (which is of children...!!!) to make a hook about it & it would make less sense since this most probably wouldn't be the lead hook in the set (so no picture to immediately refer to).

Kingoflettuce: Ah, I just noticed the portion in question. It must have slipped through my eyes. Good to go with the suggested hook. Wish you a lot of hits. --Mhhossein ^talk 06:22, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
