Promoted to Good Article on December 10. Length checked, policy checked, no copyvio. QPQ done. Hook checked okay, cited, found reference in book preview. Zeete (talk) 19:46, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
@Oceanh and Midnightblueowl: I do not find this hook interesting enough for DYK. The opening lead is a minefield of interesting facts, so I may even propose a hook myself. I may wait to see your thoughts first. Jolly Ω Janner 20:52, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Maybe something that mentions the art forger Fernand Legros and how he was used as the basis for a character in Alph-Art might be a good option? Midnightblueowl (talk) 20:55, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that Belgian cartoonist Hergé died before completing Tintin and Alph-Art, the final volume in the The Adventures of Tintin, leaving the character's fate unexplained? Jolly Ω Janner 03:52, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Oceanh and Midnightblueowl: ALT1 looks good to me. What do you think? Zeete (talk) 12:11, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- I think that that's great. Midnightblueowl (talk) 11:41, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
