Frederick Warren Freer

... that Frederick Warren Freer (pictured) was referred to as "the painter of beautiful women’s faces"?

ALT1: ... that Frederick Warren Freer (pictured) switched from studying medicine to art after going partially deaf? Source: [2]

The article was moved to mainspace on time and a full QPQ has been performed. No close paraphrasing was found (the yellow result on Earwig is a false positive due to repeated mentions of institutions), and both hooks are cited inline and verified. Either hook can be used. The image is public domain so acceptable, but it is probably a bad fit for the Main Page owing to it not being that good quality (the eyes and facial features are not that good at that resolution). There's only one minor issue holding this back: ALT1 is supported by the source, but the current wording of the article does not suggest he studied medicine first before switching, but rather he studied art in lieu of medicine.

@Narutolovehinata5: Thank you for the review, as long as ALT0's okay I'm fine with striking out ALT1. Kimikel (talk) 16:15, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, a reword to the article would suffice in fixing ALT1's issue. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:37, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kimikel: Please respond to the above. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:20, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: I apologize for the delay. I've changed the sentence to make it more clear that he originally planned to study medicine but switched to art. Please let me know if there is still more to change. Thank you. Kimikel (talk) 03:15, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Recommending that this run without the image for reasons mentioned above. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:56, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
