Comments

• Watch out for "x is" conjunctions; there are a couple of these in §Description

 Fixed I tried to resolve it as best as I could -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 02:38, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

• Stray quotation mark at the end of one of the paragraphs

• The definite article in the painting's alternate title should be de-capitalized (Between the Curtains)

Y -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 02:38, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

• The "(pictured)" in the NMWA photo caption should be italicized between the parentheses

• That Kahlo called Trotsky "El Viejo" is not supported by the citation which follows it, but I did find a Smithsonian Magazine article which supports this. I'm a little worried that the current wording of the sentence could give rise to WP:SYNTH issues by perhaps giving the impression that "El Viejo" was insult; maybe something like Calling Trotsky "The Old Man" (El Viejo), Kahlo was attracted to his...?

 Fixed The Smithsonian source is also cited in the sentence. -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 02:38, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

That's about it – I enjoyed reading the article and its sources, and it's a fine piece of work. Once these small issues are addressed, I can pass the article. --Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 20:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Dylan620 Hey there! I'm just a random passerby editor going around helping GANs here and there and have contributed to this one. I tried to resolve all the above issues to the best of my abilities so feel free to let me know if there are further issues. -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 02:38, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

@APK Also notifying you so that you are up to date on this. Dcdiehardfan (talk) 02:39, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @Dylan620:! Let me know if you have any other concerns @Dylan620:. APK hi :-) (talk) 04:18, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

@APK: I assume the first ping was meant to be for Dcdiehardfan? Indeed, very cool of you DCDHF to do that :) Most of your fixes work quite well – you did miss one of the contractions I was referring to, but honestly it's such a small thing that I can take care of it myself after I hit "publish changes". (For what it's worth, I'd only meant that the contractions should have been expanded, i.e. she's → she is.) My next edit will be to touch up what little else needs to be taken care of; the one after that will involve passing the article. Congratulations, APK! --Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 01:08, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@Dylan620 Thank you! And that was my bad haha, but either way, I'm glad that the article has passed! Congrats @APK! Dcdiehardfan (talk) 03:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
