  • Are there any other possible hook options here? The hook as currently written doesn't seem to appeal to those unfamiliar with the character. The image helps but I would personally suggest going with a different hook direction in this case. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:23, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
  • New enough, just long enough, neutral and free of close paraphrasing concerns. I gave it a light copy edit and added an image of the artist's signature. I found this entry at kieselbach.hu of the artist, which renders his name with a grave accent over the a—should the article's title reflect this? Said page also contains a sketch (self-portrait?) of the artist. As I'm not an expert at the subject matter, could you tell me if that portrait is old enough to qualify as public domain in Austria/Hungary? It would be a nice bit of illustration for the article (not like it really needs more, but still nice). QPQ done. ALT1 interesting enough; I added "pictured" to it as I think the example of Pierrot the mime qualifies as a carnival motif. @Evrik: DigitalIceAge (talk) 05:02, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
