Interesting topic, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I am not yet happy with the hook. To me, it looks as if the hat was a specific attribute of St. Spyridon. Do you have any reference for it being used for other saints or people? I'd try to avoid having his image first in the article about the hat in general. You could be specific in the hook, and mention him, or you could say something else. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:07, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: I swapped images and created a new hook. --evrik ^(talk) 20:53, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I like the new hook better. Can you say something that doesn't repeat what we see in the image? The image is licensed and nice, so let's hope it will come along. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:29, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can offer this hook with another image. --evrik ^(talk) 18:57, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good hook, but I don't think that the image, showing the hat very small, will help much. I'd prefer

ALT1a: ...that the Carpathian shepherd's hat is a cylindrical fur cap (pictured)? - But if no image, I'd prefer ALT2. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:06, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
