Tornado Over Kansas

Tornado in Hardtner, Kansas (1929)

... that the painting Tornado Over Kansas by John Steuart Curry was possibly inspired by photographs of a June 2, 1929 tornado (pictured) in Hardtner, Kansas? Source: Junker 1998, p. 123

Comement: Oops, I forgot the 7 day deadline has passed :o Still going to see if maybe another lenient exception could be made?

Everything looks good in terms of the sourcing, being within policy, verifying the hook fact, and I think being a couple days passed the nomination date requirement can be overlooked. The only issue I have is that the photographer of this picture is Marnie Rathgeber and not Ira Blackstock. It's the same tornado, but clearly not one of the photographs used by the painter. Might I suggest moving the word picture to after the word tornado in the hook? Otherwise it suggests this is one of the photographs by Blackstock.4meter4 (talk) 01:03, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

4meter4, thanks for catching that! I've made the necessary changes to both the hook and the article. GeneralPoxter (talk) 01:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

You are welcome, and the fix looks good. Length, hook fact, and being in policy verified. The hook has been edited properly, and the article updated. We can overlook the lateness, as you were only slightly late in nominating. This hook is ready to be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 01:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
