. Length, date and hook reference are all in order. No copy vio. I have a suggestion of an ALT1 Hook with an img, provided the img is cleared of licensing issue. Other wise original hook is good to go.--Nvvchar. 23:00, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

ALT1 Hook ... that Richard Jerningham accompanied Henry VIII of England in June 1520 to the Field of Cloth of Gold (pictured) at Calais, and to Henry's meeting with the Emperor Charles V at Gravelines in July?

Thanks for the review! The image is from Wikipedia Commons, so it should be OK. Either hook is fine with me. NinaGreen (talk) 01:21, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I added the image. Note that the original hook has been verified, but to use ALT1, it will have to be okayed by someone other than the person who wrote the hook or the article. (To me, the image doesn't look like much at this size.) MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:21, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the image. If it doesn't show up too well, perhaps it would be best to go with the original hook? The chronicler Edward Hall's phrasing, 'sad and ancient knights', might catch some Wikipedia readers' attention? NinaGreen (talk) 21:05, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

To be honest I think the original hook works better, and I agree with Mandarax that the image doesn't work well at that size. Prioryman (talk) 07:37, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

In the interest of avoiding further delays, I've taken the liberty of striking ALT1. If anyone prefers the alt and wants to verify it, feel free to unstrike it. Otherwise ...
