ALT1: ... that the School for American Crafts benefited from two great benefactors of art education, both women: founder Aileen Osborn Webb and donor Susan Bevier? Source: https://books.google.com/books?id=hPyUcREgadYC&pg=PA306#v=onepage&q&f=false (discusses Webb and Bevier, with Bevier described as "the other great benefactor of art education"; see also p. 73, which describes Bevier's legacy to RIT in more detail, and p. 201 which identifies Webb as founder of the School for American Craft)
Overall: Nice work on this one! Article is well cited, new and long enough. ALT0 is cited and interesting, The first source talks about them recruiting from "Scandinavia" due to a shortage of American craftsmen and both sources mention different Danish artisans recruited by the school. ALT1 isn't as interesting imo. [Edit: Changed my mind, ALT1 is interesting, though ALT0 is more unusual]. There are a few other nitpicks with the article which I commented on below, but they're very minor! BuySomeApples (talk) 05:41, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
External links have been added to the article by using images and their captions to embed them. This needs to be fixed and the images should have proper captions per WP:CAPTION (although the RIT logo should probably be removed since it isn't necessary, although it's public domain). Videos can sometimes be added as external links or references though but not just for the sake of adding them.
I'm not quite sure what you're referencing here. Do you mean the use of videos in the external media template? That's considered acceptable. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
There is some close paraphrasing in the article which is just on the edge of copyvio. For ex, the article it mentions that Christensen's work used "the play of light and shadow". This is probably too generic to constitute copyvio, but it should probably be rephrased or quoted just to be safe.
rephrased to "the interaction of light and shadow" Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
"The School for American Crafts has had a deep impact on generations of American craft makers, faculty and students." This could be more neutral, can we rephrase to something like "Many notable American craft makers have been associated with the school as faculty or students"? Also, the list of notable people should only include bluelinked names or redlinks that are likely to become blue.
Done. I've brought it down to 1 or 2 redlinks per area of work. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Single digit numbers are usually spelled out, and higher numbers are in digits. Whichever one you choose, it's best to be consistent throughout the article. I went ahead and fixed this myself because it's so small.
Changed "Archives" to "External links". BuySomeApples (talk) 05:42, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the review @BuySomeApples:. Updates made as requested, Glad you enjoyed the article. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks @Mary Mark Ockerbloom: I removed the external videos but otherwise this nom looks good to me. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
