Hi Jonathan Deamer, review follows: I measure the article at 1,526 characters when quotes are excluded so just long enough; article was created on 8 December; a QPQ has been carried out; inline citations used throughout; sources look to be reliable enough, I guess "Lyndsey Ingram" is a gallery website? It's only used to cite a couple of basic biographical facts so I think is OK; I didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing from what I could read of the sources (noting that the Times is subscription-only); Hook is interesting enough; I can't access the source cited for the competition wins, can you provide an extract? Also per the rules it would need a duplicate citation straight after the fact int he article (first sentence in "Career" section) - Dumelow (talk) 13:26, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Dumelow Thanks for the thorough and helpful feedback. Correct, Lyndsey Ingram is a gallery. I've added the website of Maple's publisher as an additional source for these biographical facts, which may be marginally better? I've added the citation straight after the appropriate sentence (oops!). Are you able to view The Times source at archive.org? I've added this archive link, and a quote within the cite, to the article too. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 18:42, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
