There are, as you know, many portrait s of Mr. Lincoln where his face and head have been transfer red to the body of another sitter. Presumably the portrait of at least one sitter was incomplete before the Lincoln face was added, so the original sitter may havebeen already dead. This sitter was a small man with short arms and legs, who's wearing shoes rather than boots. The Lincoln face is hardly an ornament on this body , and the one other l know of has Mr. Lincol n's face on the gody of a tall man, closer to the mark but still wearing shoes.76.71.34.171 (talk) 15:39, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm going through old GA articles to see if they still meet the standards. This article seems to be in need of some TLC to meet standards again. @Abecedare tagged the Native Americans section, which seems to be based on to a large extent on 19th century sourcing.
The article overall is quite long (14,000 words), and there may be opportunities to use WP:summary style better.
User:Femke This project has been on my back burner, I've got a lot going on but I'll see what I can do. No guarantees though :) I'm probably better suited to fixing the native American section (I have some sources on point) than shortening it up.

Brilliant! I can imagine that Arbcom will take priority, so I'll hold off with nomming for longer. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:36, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I just removed some images as they cluttered the page, which still looks messy. I think the legacy section will need some serious trimming. Wow (talk) 03:02, 2 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
