Spray-paint portrait of Jonathan Pollard

This gallery is visible in its entirety only on Saturdays, when large murals of famous personalities painted on the closed shutters appear." (The Times of Israel)

Interesting artists, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and almost a must in this case. - I am not happy with the hook, unless you want to promote knowing the name of the market. "Jerusalem shuk", as in a headline, seems a more attractive name for it, no? I find the number of art works also interesting, and/or that they are portraits. - Please check if on fact really needs four refs, and sort their numbers. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I cut down the number of cites on that sentence from 5 to 2. Regarding the name of the market, I agree that it should be "Jerusalem shuk", but the page has stood under this name for quite a long time. Actually, there's more than one shuk in Jerusalem, so this should be called the Mahane Yehuda shuk. Would you like a slightly different hook, such as:

Another image option:

Golda Meir portrait

Thank you! I wonder if we can boldly pipe to the market name, and much prefer the Meir image, in women's month. With such a famous woman, we don't need to say who his "sitters" are ;)

ALT2 is fine with me! Yoninah (talk) 17:45, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

thank you, strike others then, - and thank you for the image also! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:55, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
