# Talk:Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash

Is an unreliable source (crowd sourced). Can we replace it with something else? Philafrenzy (talk) 10:07, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

### First reading
1. Prose quality:

The lead length is appropriate for the length of the article, but the lead mostly consists of a description of the painting, which is not elaborated elsewhere in the article, and very little of the rest of the article is summarized in the lead. Instead we should have a description outside the lead, and a summary of all sections of the article within the lead, per MOS:LEAD and GA criterion 1b.
I'm not sure we need the repeated wikilinks to Duchamp's Nude in the "Critical Responses" section, since the same links are present only a few lines up.
2. Sourcing:

All references look reliable and well formatted.
Reference [1] (Albright-Knox gallery) is a deadlink that redirects to the gallery's front page.
Every single source checks out, sources what it is supposed to source, and does not appear to have been excessively copied from. I find this astonishing; it is very rare in GA nominations, and the nominator and other article editors should be commended for it.
3. Coverage:

This seems to cover what it should cover, without going into excessive detail; no issues noted.
4. Neutral:

Critical opinions on the value of this artwork differ, clearly, but the article neutrally presents them rather than taking sides.
5. Stable:

Very. No significant changes since last October.
6. Illustration quality, copyright, and captioning:

Reference [1] has a much better copy of the image, which (as a work published prior to 1923) is in the public domain. The problem with the image we're using now is that it's a black-and-white reproduction (copied from a book) of a color painting. It doesn't do the painting justice to reproduce it in that way.
Summary: This article on a famous artwork is not long, but does not need to be. It is already very close to GA quality with only some minor touchup needed (mostly in making the lead into a proper lead and, I hope, replacing the image with one of better quality). —David Eppstein (talk) 00:26, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you David Eppstein! I have, I hope, resolved each of those issues. —swpbT 13:30, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
Ok, all remaining issues handled, so I'm passing this. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:22, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
