Queen of the fairies as painted in the Khalili Falnama

... that opening a Falnama on a painting of the queen of the fairies (pictured) meant a prediction of good fortune? Source: "Illustration 30v: The Queen of the Fairies in Paradise / Good"

- Comment: Google Books shows me different pages depending on which browser I use. The relevant page, 248, is shown when I follow the link in Google Chrome but not Microsoft Edge.

5x expanded by MartinPoulter (talk). Self-nominated at 15:55, 25 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Falnama; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: What a beautifully illustrated article! I am a bit of a sucker for illuminated manuscripts though. The article has been expanded 5x, having been drafted in userspace, and is of course long enough. The hook fact is backed up by the source (can report that Firefox took me to a different page also, but as 248 wasn't far away it was of no concern), and there are no copyvio concerns (Earwig matches are mostly to names of pictures, which is to be expected). The image is licensed CC By-SA 3.0 IGO so no problems there. All good! DrThneed (talk) 02:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
