Alt1 should be implemented, it is much more interested and detailed than the rest suggested hook. JeBonSer (talk | sign) 10:00, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: The article is properly sourced and consists of illustrations. So, it's good to go. Toadboy123 (talk) 09:33, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- @That Coptic Guy and JeBonSer: I have to imagine we can't call this windowpane "miraculous" in wikivoice... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:35, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- @theleekycauldron - Would it be appropriate, then, if we removed the word "miraculous" and still go with ALT1? I don't have an issue with that. Removal of the word doesn't drastically alter the uniqueness of the windowpane. — That Coptic Guy (let's talk?) 22:06, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- That Coptic Guy how about:
- ALT1a: ... that an image of the Virgin Mary etched into a windowpane (pictured) survived repeated attempts to remove it by chemical and physical means?
- It's a bit punchier, and I think our users will know who the Virgin Mary is. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 17:09, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Can I ask about the sources used in this article? www.miraclehunter.com, www.roman-catholic-saints.com, www.sudariumchristi.com, www.catholicculture.org... are these reputable scholarly sources? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 17:10, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Reliability of sources questioned, not ready for promotion yet. –LordPeterII (talk) 18:41, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Since TCG is on wikibreak, we should close this up in ten days or so if they're not around to fix the issues. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:38, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Maybe one of us can adopt this nomination to get it unstuck? Lightburst (talk) 15:48, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- Sure, but someone actually has to step up and do that. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:43, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Theleekycauldron: sadly I am not ambitious enough. Maybe a closure is in order.Lightburst (talk) 00:14, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
