Interesting Good article, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Three sources are not used, intentionally so? I miss (pictured) in all hooks, and personally like ALT2 best. Please think about image placement. Right is preferred to left, to not displace section headers, but left for people looking to the right. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:04, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt:

Thanks for reviewing this DYK;

• "Three sources are not used, intentionally so?" -- that's right.
• "I miss (pictured) in all hooks" --  Done
• "(...) and personally like ALT2 best." -- sure, lets do it!
• "Please think about image placement. Right is preferred to left, to not displace section headers, but left for people looking to the right." -- could you please implement what you mean? Then I can have a look.

Thank you! Unused sources: Can you place them under "Further reading" (or use them), to avoid fat error messages? Images: the "courtiers" image displaces the 17th century header (for me), which it would not if right, or higher up. The next image could go left, and I moved the 18th century one, - revert if you don't like.

@Gerda Arendt:

• "Can you place them under "Further reading" (or use them), to avoid fat error messages?" --  Done
• "Images (...)" --  Done
• " (...) revert if you don't like." -- Thanks, looks good.
