    • Comment: I am leaning toward the first two hooks as I think they are simpler and more effective. Thank you very much for reviewing this nomination.

Created by Ppt91 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:08, 20 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Mural (Julie Mehretu); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • I will review this in the coming days! WatkynBassett (talk) 04:44, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
  • The article was created on 14 September 2023 and nominated on the 20 September 2023 and is thus eligible.
  • The article has over 1,500 characters of readable prose.
  • The article is nicely sourced. I did a spot check on a few sources (mostly quotes) and they cover their sentences.
  • The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone.
  • Earwig picked up some quotes and very few phrases which I find unconcerning.
  • Please confirm that you do not need a QPQ, because you have fewer then five nominations.
  • Will review the hook this week! WatkynBassett (talk) 05:23, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
    • The Original hook has the right length and is interesting, I like it better than the ALTs. I did not see 200 West Street in the source, but this is not a material issue as the source tells us that the painting is installed at the Goldman HQ which is located at this building; regarding the necessity of a citation inline I think it is sufficient if the content of the hook is contained in two individual sentences in the article, which are each cited.
    • Conclusion: Thank you for the nice knowledge creation. As someone who has no real knowledge in the arts I think I learned a bit reading the article. I will approve the Original hook, if you confirm that no QPQ is needed because you have fewer than five nominations under your belt.

    • @Ppt91: Thank you for confirming that no QPQ is needed (for promoter: the confirmation is on the article's talk page). This nomination is good to go – I approve the original hook. WatkynBassett (talk) 06:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
I was able to confirm ALT0 on Page 249 of the given source. I find it interesting. Lightburst (talk) 15:41, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
