A fact from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II – An 80th Birthday Portrait appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 September 2016 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
@
Gareth E. Kegg: An interesting read though I do feel there is a bit of work needed for it to become a GA.
Per
MOS:INTRO the intro should be a summary. In my view, the current one is too long and appears to be the same length as the rest of the article. It needs to be broken up with some of the paragraphs possibly becoming their own sections.
There should be an explanation of why Harris was chosen to paint HM, as well as a bit of background on Harris' artistic experience
I don't think its necessarily correct to call Harris an artist in the lead as he was more primarily known as an entertainer.
Per
MOS:JOBTITLES, references to HM should be "the Queen", not "Elizabeth" for consistency as you're using both in the article
Is there a reason and a source as to why the National Portrait Gallery rejected it?
It should be made clearer that the location is unknown since Harris' arrest, the article currently seems to go around the houses to tell readers that.
With the sources, only print media should be in italics, BBC and ABC etc can be in normal.
These issues defiantly prevent promotion at this time, with the large lead being mostly problematic. Once these have been sorted, ping me and i'll have another look. The C of E God Save the Queen! (
