- @Yoninah: Can you properly add this picture to the hook - the nominator would like it added. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk)
- I formatted the image and also adjusted the page link and DYK credits, since the page has been moved to Modern Gothic cabinet. Yoninah (talk) 18:39, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Substantial article, well written, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. - The image is licensed and almost a must, because who would think of something like this just reading "modern"? With the hook as it is we will get the question "according to whom?", please phrase with a quote or explained. - In the article, please explain or title the gallery, it's not self-evident. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:10, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- I changed the hook to the MMA's quote. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 12:39, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

- Thank you for alternatives! Perhaps don't use the exact wording because it leads to repetition, also I think a link to Modern Gothic style would be helpful for readers like me who think it sounds like a contradiction in terms. Also: some art critic saying so would be more convincing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:37, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt. Good suggestions. Done on both alternatives. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 01:08, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
I like the pipe! If you come up with yet other wording , feel free to suggest below. - Next time, please leave the proposals and word more ALTs, to keep the conversation meaningful ;) - Offline sources accepted AGF. - Perhaps get the left image a little lower, to avoid sandwiching of the text. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 04:37, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

- 7&6=thirteen. I like the way you slipped in Daniel Pabst. Would the ALT4 wording work better? == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:58, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

- Returned: sorry, I think the link to the maker just reduces links to the cabinet article, also creates sea of blue. The name of the cabinet should not be piped, also the longer the more visible. So, if maker, then something like
