This is a featured article, and the attribution was included when it was made such on October 1, 2011. "Discouraged" does not mean "disallowed", as you appear to interpret it. As long as the artist has a Wikipedia article, there is no inherent problem with noting authorship. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk·contribs·email) 23:20, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Discouraged" means "should not generally be done unless for a good reason", and "was included when this provision of the MOS did not yet exist" is not a good reason. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:37, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As a featured article, this article is expected to follow the MOS, which indicates that "notable" is not sufficient reason for inclusion in cases like this. I see no good reason to disregard that. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:08, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The caption appeared as it did when the article became an FA. Having the caption just read "Portrait, 1744" is just completely uninformative. Hudson had a particular style and it's absolutely worth acknowledging that. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk·contribs·email) 00:15, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Which, again, was before this guideline existed. Having a caption with a date allows you to locate it within the subject's lifespan, but if you object to it I'd be fine with omitting it entirely. Hudson's style is not the subject of the article (and not discussed in the article). Nikkimaria (talk) 00:22, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Answering 3rd opinion request: It is relevant in this case to include the famous artist's name under the portrait, especially since it is his interpretation of the king's appearance, not a photo. I am not biased toward either user. Best wishes, --SergeWoodzing (talk) 08:38, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It would be interesting to know something about the political context in which George was granted that title, since it seems to imply a certain committment to the Hanoverian succession (which Queen Anne seems to have avoided at other moments). Oudeístalk13:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Of all the significant dates in this man's life, you show his coats of arms for only the end of it: when he was Prince of Wales, and when he was King of Great Britain. And those two could well be predicted and thus wouldn't need to be looked up in an encyclopedia. For all of the arms he carried prior to becoming Prince of Wales (which are the ones we'd not know, and would seek to find here), you show none.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 05:21, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson[reply]
