- Keep This article is being kept as a WP:GA. The effort to improve the article was tremendous and included well over 500 edits. There was talk page interest in bringing this article to WP:FAC. I not only feel that the article should first go to WP:PR, but I am going to undertake listing it there momentarily and notifying most people who partook in the GAR efforts here.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 23:05, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

- There are entire paragraphs of uncited material. Some of these paragraphs are quite short and the content may be better placed in larger paragraphs. Otherwise, in general each paragraph, which should be a distinct topic should have at least one inline citation.--

- First, I fail to understand why some of the gallery image can not be moved into the text. There are sections where the citation is very weak. E.G., look at the first several paragraphs in
Vincent_van_Gogh#Work. Nothing there is common knowledge for a person like me who knows a bit about art, but is not an expert. Please add at least one in-line citation per paragraph.--

- The point of my template suggestion is that you can put two or three images side-by-side with tremendous captioning options. I understand that there are many images relative to the amount of text, but the main body could actually comfortably accomodate twice as many images. Two side by side at 200 px or three at about 150 for portraits and you could make things a lot easier for the reader.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 03:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

As opposed to making a mini gallery in each section that causes page breaks I would suggest the template above in a format like the following which will not break the text.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 14:35, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Multiple images cram the paintings together, unless you can specify horizontal spacing between them. The images need room to breathe. Ty 14:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ty this template is the formatting from Fountain of Time, which may be the most recent FA for the visual arts project. We are clearly attempting to squeeze in a lot of images. Mini galleries are not acceptable formatting. Please readjust. If necessary use the {{ clear}} command as seen at Jon_Burge#Arrest which will keep the images in the correct sections.
The images in the templates can be stacked as well using the formatting seen on the left below

- Comment Nice job Tony, I gotta think about the space, and the paintings having enough individual weight..I have eliminated 8 images from the larger gallery so far... Modernist ( talk) 14:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
