  • ... that sculptor Dan Lam was born in a refugee camp in Morong, Philippines?
    • ALT1:her work began to capture attention quickly. In 2016, her following on that platform grew rapidly from approximately 11,000 followers, to over 76,000, and included celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, an event which coincided with growing recognition in the art world of the importance of social media.

  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline to a podcast, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. No QPQ is needed here. Although this article meets the DYK criteria, I do not like the article style, which I think is too chatty. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:52, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Infobox image

Please stop inserting an image into the Dan Lam article that is against WP policies. The wishes of the subject of an article are irrelevant. The policy on main images is at MOS:LEADIMAGE and says "Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see". Biography articles have portrait images of the subject. Also see MOS:SHOCK which says "Lead images should be of least shock value". Also see WP:OWN which says "Also, a person or an organization that is the subject of an article does not own the article, and has no right to dictate what the article may say."

I'm putting the above message that was posted on PCs talk page here for reference. You both need to have a discussion here on the page's talk page about the issue. Both of you are also one revert away from violating the three revert rule, so please be aware of that. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:07, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
