  • Comment: Interesting article, but really needs a native speaker to run through the prose. Also it needs to be clearer that the pic is some sort of print reproduction from 1907, no doubt based on a photo, but not one itself. Johnbod (talk) 02:11, 23 October 2016 (UTC) -->
  • Thanks, Template:User link. I replaced the image with the photo of the actual thing, thanks for pointing out that the previous one's a reproduction! Regarding the prose, I will see what I can do, and I also submitted a request to WP:COPYEDITORS. HaEr48 (talk) 19:17, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Copyediting is done (thanks Template:Userlink!). Can we look at this nomination again? HaEr48 (talk) 04:58, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

  • Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ was done. Hook is confirmed in he reference. Article is big enough. new enough when nominated, correct person credited. English is copyedited enough to understand, though I did try to make one point clear. It is completely referenced with suitable sources, and is neutral. Copyviotool can't find a problem. The hook is in the article, cited and supported by the reference. Good to go now. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:17, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
