Look, I'm sorry for the waffling. I just can't stand unsourced material being added in a dyk style. If you can get Tony or Sko to say it's ok, then I'll back off.
I'd really encourage you to buff up the FP process so that, in anticipation of being in Featured content, and image will already have the pertinent info. MathewTownsend ( talk) 00:03, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
oh, please, please, please don't put the fireworks image in. It dilutes the impact of Whistlers Mother, and the two pictures aren't related, as the two were last week. I think it ruins it to have them both at the bottom. MathewTownsend ( talk) 01:09, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi -- just a quick thanks for passing my article on DYK! As a side note: it was actually "created" March 5, in terms of moving it to the namespace. The article was developed in my username space, and two weeks later, moved and nominated the same day. Aloha! -- Zanimum ( talk) 18:38, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

You gave me a bit to work on there. Most of it was fixable, only 2 or 3 things the sources were silent on. Good find with the images, at least I won't have to deal with fair use on this article... Oh, and having a TFA did turn out to be a real pain--it attracts a lot of people who are unaware of the guidelines we take for granted. Mark Arsten ( talk) 18:40, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Drmies ( talk · contribs) suggested that I seek your opinion of my April Fools' Day hook for Janet Fish. Drmies has already reviewed and approved the article; the only question is about the hook. Perhaps he thought of you because you refer to the day as "Fish Day"; it would be great to have a Main Page "Fish hook" on that day! Thanks, MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:26, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
Tony suggested before that the blurbs be shortened and I agree. People like me just skip over them when they are crammed with unfamiliar facts and phrases that mean nothing to 90% of the readers. I think we should just give an over view to encourage those interested to read the article - not put them off by a crammed blurb. We can discuss it with Tony and Sko if you disagree.
I'm staying out of the blurbs re images. Not proofing or anything, as I know you disagree with my view there. Regards, MathewTownsend ( talk) 13:09, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Nice hook! Haha, "meester." Drmies ( talk) 21:17, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on.

For featured articles and featured lists, I'm considering these: my mockups so far for this week. What do you think?
Unfortunately, there don't seem to be a good selection of pics this week. Can't have more nudes, nor more Goyas after last week, except Dog I guess. I hate that lizard, the snake is ok, maybe another Whistler (two weeks in a row). Too many paintings of similar styles and eras. Do you think in the future you could spread out your nominations of a specific artist say, over time and provide more variety in style and subject? Get more fantastic building, exquisite landscapes, architectural features, etc.? Just a suggestion. If I knew how to fix a picture up for nomination, I'd look around for more variety. But I don't.
