Review: August 20, 2007.

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

edit request: incorrect details

Old text:

This version of the work did not possess the halo due to its stylistic nature and the prevalence of graffiti in the underground (not given reason). After a few days (incorrect) the halo was repainted by a graffitist (guess), so Transport for London disposed of the poster (not true, poster still exists)

New text:

This version of the work did not possess the halo due to concerns from TFL of encouraging graffiti. However, the halo was repainted within a day, so Transport for London removed the poster.

-:Not done. He's in [[:Category:Pseudonymous artists]]. As for his identity, media has named him and made some identification, see the Identity section in the article, so [[:Category:Unidentified people]] is too far reaching. --[[User:Mvqr|<span style="color: #8f8;background:#85b;border:1px solid #999">Mvqr</span>]] ([[User talk:Mvqr#top|talk]]) 11:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
