- ... that Clare embroidery featured in the Home Industries section of the Irish International Exhibition (pictured) in 1907?

- Hi Lajmmoore, I'll take a look at this one. Initial comment is that the "Home Industries" bit from ALT0 doesn't appear in the article and that the source for ALT1 says "one of Queen Victoria’s grandchildren" - Dumelow (talk) 14:14, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- I found no issues with quality of sources or close paraphrasing; article was moved to mainspace on 26 September and exceeds minimum length; article is well written; a QPQ has been carried out. Looking at the image, presumably the catalogue was published in Dublin? In this case you will need a country-specific tag as well as the US one - Dumelow (talk) 14:53, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks very much Dumelow. Regarding ALT0 - i added the pavilions to the article, silly mistake of me to not double-check. With ALT1 with a closer look, I think there's a discrepancy in the sources. The Folk Life article says " Clare Embroidery made use of a range of bright, clear colours and was very popular for such items as children's dress and ladies' gardening aprons. Among the patrons of the industry was Queen Victoria, who ordered dresses decorated with Clare Embroidery for her grandchildren." but the Clare Champion says (as you point out), twelve dresses for one grandchild. How about:
- ALT1a: ... that Queen Victoria supported Clare embroidery by purchasing dresses for her family? Source: "went on to establish another craft industry, Clare Embroidery ... examples of their work were purchased by both Queen Victoria and the princess of Wales " https://www.dib.ie/biography/obrien-arnold-forster-florence-mary-a6468 & the number of "12 smocks" is here: https://doi.org/10.1179/flk.1992.31.1.43
- Let me know what you think Lajmmoore (talk) 08:39, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, ALT0 and ALT1a look good to me - Dumelow (talk) 12:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
