message: I've removed the very lovely "Man among flames" as Strong 1983:109 describes how the attribution moved from Oliver to Hilliard & back to Oliver, which he says was confirmed by technical examination. But the V&A website says Hilliard (rather an odd entry - what calligraphy?). Unless anyone knows differently, I think this is just a mistake. The image is grossly stretched in the vertical dimension btw.Johnbod (talk) 21:14, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

text: More specifically, the Hungarian article on Nicholas Hilliard was the ten millionth article on Wikipedia.  Congratulations on a job well done, Wikipedia editors!  --pie4all88 (talk) 18:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

text:  Agreed, it's only the Hungarian article that receives this honour. The English article was created at 11:41, January 15, 2005, and likely was somewhere in the 1.7 million total article range.  --  Zanimum (talk) 20:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

text:  Are you extrapolating from the current English/total ratio of 2.3 million out of 10 million for that guess? :p John Riemann Soong (talk) 22:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  As far as I'm aware, this article was indeed officially the 10 millionth, no fudging around. I believe the office had our tech people monitoring it, unlike previous milestones.  --  Zanimum (talk) 14:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hungarian article on same artist is 10 Millionth 

message: I've tidied the references, and removed the 1911 Britannica marker - there are only two paragraphs of 1911 text left, and they're now both footnoted and have a comment in the text next to them to credir their author. I've created one additional reference, for Roy Strong (1969), English Icon: Elizabethan and Jacobean Portraiture - I think this is the correct edition, but if not please correct. The note in the text didn't specify.
The two ambiguous footnotes remaining are #17 (which just gives "Strong op. cit" - 1975, perhaps?) and #27, with no page numbers. If someone with the books could check on these, that'd be great!
Otherwise, a pretty good article - well done! Shimgray | talk | 13:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks!  Yes, that's the correct (only) edition of the The English Icon.  I'll see of I can sort out the op. cit - Johnbod and I seem to have different (but overlapping) volumes by Strong in our libraries. - PKM (talk) 19:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
