- This was tough as I enjoyed all of the articles. If anyone would like a Pee Review, just message me and I'll gladly do one. --

- Rembrandt by Everyotherusernamewastaken
- As someone who loves art history, I really enjoyed this take on Rembrandt. "Self-Portrait with Slightly Open Mouth" made me giggle uncontrollably and I loved the Van Gogh reference. If you ever want to expand on the article, it would be hilarious if you could have gone into Rembrandt's other features in addition to his eyes like his mouth or his nose or something. I would also love to see how you could tie some of Rembrandt's more famous works like The Night Watch into this theme. Overall, this was just the perfect way to tackle this kind of subject: Equal parts silliness and sophistication.
- Human rights by Shabidoo
- Also really funny. "The silliness of man made Human Rights" was my favorite section. I thought it was hilarious. I felt that the beginning could have been a little more subtle though, and it got a tad repetitive, but it still was a great take on the subject. I also would have liked if the pictures correlated with the text more. Nevertheless, great job. I had fun reading this.
- Honey by TheWikiMan026
- I wish you could have finished this because I would have loved to see where you could have taken it. From what I read so far, I could totally see you take this in a lot of hilarious directions, but right now, there isn't a lot for me to work off of. I'm sure it will be great when you finish it and add some pictures. Good luck.
- This was a very entertaining TAW competition for me, even though I bet all records with my lateness. Anton (talk) 15:10, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
- Rembrandt by Everyotherusernamewastaken
- Very funny, imaginative and clever work. Also very nicely formatted and structured, so that I have an impression like I am visiting a gallery while reading the page. Your jokes are so incrusted into the “soul” of the page that I had to re-read several parts to find sexual innuendos! I would only suggest looking out for bits of “awkward prose”, such as “and definitely not self-aggradizing at all” or “FABULOUS”. They contrast with an otherwise impeccable style, my favourite example of which being “Not content with being ahead of his time in his work alone, Rembrandt also had an avant-garde personal life.”
- Human Rights by Shabidoo
- An oddly joyful sarcastic piece, that leaves me very perplexed - it is as if you were extremely optimistic in your pessimism and that’s what makes it violently charming. ...All in all a very interesting read throughout, as with every new section I was curious about what you had to say about human rights and a fun one, especially looking at the as perplexing images.
- I would just suggest being careful with not giving out your irony too explicitly, which looks like your exact thoughts and it’s a difficult line not to cross. I know you’re very inspired by the Old Testament, so, in my opinion, taking some distance from the subject you’re writing about, or on the contrary approaching it so closely, that at first sight it’ll look like you agree with everything that’s said there, will only help your concept!
- Honey by TheWikiMan026
- I know you had time-related problems and it’s a pity you didn’t finish the article. What is there looks very promising and interesting, as you have some very good ideas for jokes, which are actually taken from reality. The problems are of a kind that I’m sure will be eliminated when you finish the article, which I really hope you do. Just don’t hurry and wait until you have more time to think everything over and get more ideas to produce something truly great!
