Created by Whispyhistory (talk). Self-nominated at 05:52, 19 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Sleep (painting); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Pending completion of QPQ. Otherwise, review of the sources (aided by Earwig) shows no plagiarism or paraphrasing concerns. Sourcing appears to successfully verify both facts in both hooks. Good work, just waiting on the QPQ. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:01, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...qpq should be Lonnie R. Bristow please. Whispyhistory (talk) 22:06, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not quite done, but given you submitted a suggested alt on your QPQ several days ago, I'm going to call it complete. The painting is in the public domain for the reasons provided on the Commons (which I confirmed). I approve using the painting for the hook. Great work. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
