[edit]

I began this article as part of a GLAM partnership with the Khalili Collections (see the project page for more details) for which I am currently (February 2020 onwards) Wikimedian In Residence. This is why the article was submitted through Articles For Creation. MartinPoulter (talk) 13:43, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that the Khalili Collection of Enamels of the World includes a throne table (pictured) made for the 18th century Qianlong Emperor? Source: "This spectacular throne table, the underside bearing the six-character seal mark of the Qianlong Emperor, must have been intended for the imperial court".

Images

[edit]

Personally, I'd have more images in the main text, as well as the galleries. This is more compliant with WP:GALLERY which envisages mini-galleries rather as the "overflow" when main text image space is used up, & the subject needs many images as here. A bigger size gallery fmt like say: "<XXXgallery widths="180px" heights="200px"> is nice too. Johnbod (talk) 17:40, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input, John. Pattypan is uploading a batch of images now so I'll implement this soon. Thanks also for the DYK review - a joy to see it passing so quickly. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 18:12, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
