September Morn[edit]

September Morn

  • ... that September Morn (pictured) survived the October Revolution, caused widespread controversy in the United States, and featured on "cigar bands, postcards, bottle openers, statuettes and candy boxes", but is now in a warehouse?

5x expanded by Crisco 1492 (talk). Self nominated at 09:47, 18 September 2014 (UTC).

  • Everything looks good with this nomination. The article is definitely 5x expanded (great expansion might I add). The picture is in PD, so there's no problem with that. But the hook exceeds the 200 character limit by quite a bit of characters. If we can just provide a shorter ALT that'll be great. If we can have just this one thing fixed we'll be good to go! When you're done, please ping me. All the best, Étienne Dolet (talk) 04:29, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Certainly, Étienne Dolet. How about this one? Excluding (pictured), it's under 200 characters.

Hook is reliably cited. It is 5x expanded. The image is in PD. So we're good to go with ALT1! Let's bring this painting out of the darkness that it's in! P.S. It's nice seeing how this painting passed through the hands of so many Armenians including Calouste Gulbenkian and Alexander Mantashev's son Leon.

  • I didn't notice the connection! Thanks for the hint; I'll add a footnote. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:26, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
