Mikhailovsky Palace
[edit]
- ... that the Mikhailovsky Palace (pictured) cost more to decorate than to build? Source: " В общей сложности стоимость дворца составила 7 миллионов 600 тысяч рублей, причём 4 миллиона из них были потрачены на украшение - the cost of the palace was 7 million 600 thousand rubles, and 4 million of them were spent on decoration" ([1])
- ALT1:... that attending a ball at the Mikhailovsky Palace (pictured), the Marquis de Custine remarked "This palace seemed to be created for festivity ... I have never seen anything more beautiful anywhere"? Source: "Этот дворец как бы создан для праздненства ... Я нигде не видел ничего более красивого" ([2])

Initial Review:
Article:
Newness: 
- converted and nomination on same day (May 16)
Length: - 17 kb
Copyvio Check: - violation unlikely, quotes artificially raise copyvio percentage
Neutrality:
Grammar:
Sources: 
- heavy reliance on source #1 and #3
Hook:
Length: : - <200 characters each
Content: - ALT0 is interesting enough, but I feel like not enough people know who Marquis de Custine is for ALT1 to appeal to a broad audience
Neutrality:
Source: 
- source accepted on good faith
QPQ:
Image: - sufficiently licensed, 2nd image looks beautiful
Overall:
Wow, great job Spokoyni! Everything is good - I fixed most if not all of the minor grammatical errors. Please take a look, in case I made any mistakes. I will approve (in good faith) with preference of ALT0 and either image. --Toreightyone (talk) 14:25, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
