Given that Taxi Driver became a FA last month, and that Eye is also a GA nominee, I look forward to seeing if this article meets the GA criteria. I will start a review shortly. simongraham (talk) 14:11, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Comments

This is a stable and well-written article. 99.4% of authorship is by Premeditated Chaos. It is currently assessed as a B class article. It appeared as a Did you know on 9 July 2023.

• The article is of reasonable length, with 3,291 words of readable prose.
• The lead is a reasonable length at 284 words.
• It is written in a summary style, consistent with the relevant Manuals of Style.
• The text seems clear, neutral and comprehensive coverage of the collection. It feels that previous reviews have aided in producing a clear narrative.
• There is no evidence of edit wars.
• Suggest adding the description for Kim Kardashian as per the Oyster dress GA review.

• Done

• Please explain who Judith Watt, Katharine Gleason, Kristin Knox and Liv Tyler are.

• Done

• I feel that the verbs are inconsistent in tense. As per MOS:TENSE, please amend. For example, either "Irere (Spring/Summer 2003) was the twenty-first collection" or "The collection comprise three distinct concepts", "the collection has a strong historicist tendency" etc.

• I think I've sorted this, although let me know if you see anything that I missed

• "The word "irere" is usually claimed to mean 'transformation' in an unspecified Indigenous Amazonian language": Do we know who made the claim? I suggest we also state that in the lead instead of "Its title comes from an Indigenous Amazonian word for "transformation"." Also, I suggest the quote marks be made consistent.

• Presumably McQueen made it (I would assume in the show notes) and then everybody else repeated it. I don't think I have a source that states that directly, however. (Most of them just say stuff like "Irere is an Amazonian word for 'transformation'".) I've gone with single quotes for that so it doesn't get mixed up with being a quotation

• Were they real butterflies in the heels?

• Dunno, none of the sources specify. I would assume so, given McQueen, but can't say for sure.

• Given McQueen was British, suggest the spelling be "colours".

• Replaced the two instances outside of quotes, but left the quotes alone

• Earwig gives a 21.3% chance of copyright violation, which is very low. The highest similarity is with Socha's 2002 article referenced in the article.
• The link for Armstrong 2003, Hoyer 2002, Todd 2002 requires registration. Please mark up as per WP:RSC.

• RSC is an essay, marking up sources that way isn't even required at FAC let alone GA

• All accessible sources seem live.
• References 70 and 73 seem identical (the Oyster dress at MOMA).

• Oops, good catch, thanks

• Spot checks of Bolton 2011, Gleason 2012 and Wilson 2015 confirm all mention the topic.
• The images seem appropriate and relevant.
• "Oyster dress original.jpg" and "Shipwreck dress still from maybury.png" are both declared as "fair use". I am not familiar with the requirements of this and will take them under good faith.

• It hasn't been an issue for previous showpiece items that aren't publically displayed or sold (armadillo shoe, The Widows of Culloden, The Dance of the Twisted Bull, etc). That being said, a free photo of the shipwreck dress is now available thanks to a very enterprising editor, so I've swapped the non-free image for the free version. I also added a few more pictures of the clothing.

• "Hernán Cortés anónimo.jpg" requires a US PD tag.

• Done

• "Houghton Typ 805L.32 (A) - Illustrations of the family of Psittacidœ, or parrots, plate 7.jpg" seems to not have the correct PD tag if it was sourced from the Houghton Library, Harvard University. Otherwise, it needs a US PD tag.

• The author is British, so I think the 70 years thing is right. I have added a PD-US tag to it though.

• All the remaining images have relevant CC or PD tags.
• Suggest adding ALT tags for accessibility.

• All images had alt tags at the time of the nomination, and the new ones I added have them also.

@Premeditated Chaos: Excellent work so far. Please read my comments above and ping me when you would like me to take another look. simongraham (talk) 12:09, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
