Burgomaster chair illustration

[edit]
The following discussion is closed and will soon be archived.

The quality of the scan is poor, but I found no decent PD pictures, and the concept needs an illustration. If you have access to one of the burgomaster's chairs, or happen to find a better PD source, please replace. --Votpuske (talk) 19:51, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: This is a neat and interesting little article which is long enough and new enough to qualify for DYK. I like the hook which entices the question "how can a roundabout chair have corners?" However, I some a slight concerns about it because a) it doesn't appear in the article text and b) the term roundabout chair also covers chairs that have round seats with no corners. The former is easily rectified and perhaps a tweak to the hook would resolve the latter e.g. "that the seats of some roundabout chairs..." On a DYK technical note, the actual title of the article is "Corner chair" and I don't know if this has to appear somewhere in the hook rather than being hidden. But overall, the article is a runner if these concerns can be addressed. Obviously a QPQ is needed. Keep me posted. Bermicourt (talk) 13:22, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you! I have modified the hook per your proposal. The fact that in American English roundabout chairs are synonymous to corner ones is in the article and is sourced. I thought that the QPQ requirement only applies after 5 nominations (this one is my first) but will gladly pull the load as suggested, please allow me few days to learn the ropes. There is not much I can do with the title of the article: a corner chair is a way better term (as pointed out in the hook...). -- Votpuske (talk) 01:49, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
