Harry Clarke's "Geneva Window"

• ... that due to the "grave offense" it might cause, Harry Clarke's Geneva Window (pictured) was not installed in Geneva, but kept in Government Buildings, Dublin, before being purchased by his widow?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:
• Other problems: - This hook could be rewritten to be a bit easier to parse. I think emphasizing the main irony (that it wasn't installed in Geneva despite being called Geneva Window) would work better - how about: "...that Harry Clarke's Geneva Window (pictured) was never installed in Geneva because of the "grave offense" it might cause?"

QPQ: - Please link a review to pass this
Overall: Overall, good article and good nomination, just needs QPQ and the hook is a bit difficult to read.

However I personally found that the article could use a bit of expansion on some sections, such as the description of the subject matter of the work, and in clarifying the bit that says the window was "too controversial in nature, by virtue of the subject matter more than the images themselves to be approved." This is just a suggestion since it already meets the DYK requirement for length. Luiysia (talk) 20:24, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

• @Luiysia:, thanks for the quick review. For QPQ, I included the link to Template:Did you know nominations/Darren Moore, do I need another? I'm happy to go with the reworded ALT0A: ... that Harry Clarke's Geneva Window (pictured) was never installed in Geneva because of the "grave offense" it might cause? (same sources)

I'll continue to beef up the article-Bogger (talk) 21:25,30 January 2025 (UTC)
