- White Arabian Filly - And now, a human to double check. QPQ checks out, size, age too. No copyright issues, no link issues. Hook is in the article but not directly sourced after the sentence itself, that needs to be addressed for DYK to pass. No other issues found. MPJ-DK 00:38, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

OK, I added the ref after the hook. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 19:17, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Bingo, that's done it White Arabian Filly MPJ-DK 19:46, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Not really. Ronald Regan did not commission the painting, he was merely given the plate. Another hook is needed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:34, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Nipper did, according to the source, know that the plate was going to be given to Reagan when she painted it. How would this phrasing work:
ALT1 ...that Billie Nipper's paintings were owned by Ronald Reagan, Shania Twain, and Zsa Zsa Gabor?
I added the bit in the article about Gabor and Twain; it was in the Cleveland, TN, obit. White Arabian Filly ^Neigh 15:37, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

@White Arabian Filly: since one was a plate I don't think "paintings" is correct, how about simply saying "art" then ther is not implication of format? MPJ-DK 15:45, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

OK, this should work:
...that Billie Nipper's art was owned by Ronald Reagan, Shania Twain and Zsa Zsa Gabor?
