Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of Far East History
The Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of Far East History
- ... that at one point, diplomatic relations between Japan and Russia were conducted at the Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of Far East History (pictured)? Source: "1914年に古い木造の建物はとり壊され、同年6月4日には、建築家三橋四郎の手により同じ場所に2階立建て石造りのギリシャ式の建物の建設が始まりました。その間、総領事館はバービンツェフ商人の館（現在のアルセーニエフ博物館）に置かれました" [1]
- ALT2 that at one point, Consulate-General of Japan in Vladivostok was housed in what is now the Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of Far East History (pictured)?

New enough, long enough, well-written and within policy. It would be interesting to read a bit more about the collections and focus of the museum but the article is very fine overall. QPQ has been done and image license appears to be correct. As for the hook, it's basically fine (and supported by Japanese source AGF), but I'm a little bit uneasy about the way it is written. Are diplomatic relations really "conducted"? And isn't it bordering or editorialisation? English is not my first language so perhaps it's just me, but I would like to hear the nominator's reply and thoughts about it. Perhaps it's possible to tweak the hook a bit? For my part, I would find:
* ALT1 ... that at one point, the Vladimir K. Arseniev Museum of Far East History (pictured) housed the Consulate-General of Japan?- equally interesting. That would also be closer to the wording in the article. Let me know your thoughts on this. Otherwise, there are no issues with this nomination and this charming article.

- @Yakikaki: Hello, and thanks for your kind compliment regarding the article! As for the hook, I was trying to be careful about my wording because the museum itself didn't house the consulate, but rather the building that currently houses the museum once hosted the consulate. I agree that it probably could be worded better, but within the parameters I mentioned. So I'll propose another hook alongside this comment. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 13:12, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! And good point. I will do like this - I accept both the original hook and the ALT2 and let the kind users who make the DYK queues choose which one they prefer. Thanks again for the article, and for taking the time to come up with an ALT hook. Best, Yakikaki (talk) 09:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
