Substantial GA on ecellent sources, no copyvio obvious. No image? You have so many, - actually too many for my taste in the monuments section - less could be more there. I like the first hook, much better than anything just proposed. Just waiting for qpq. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

- Thank you for qpq and the image. Please connect that somehow to the hook, or make one, or do that for a different image, - not sure it's attractive in small size. --05:30, 11 September 2019 (UTC)Gerda Arendt (talk)
