... that Norman Colville's art collection included the Babylonian Queen of the Night (pictured)? "He had a deep interest in antiquities of the Near and Middle East and his collections are now in the British Museum, including the Burney relief, the Queen of the Night, from Babylonia" from: Milosch, Jane; Pearce, Nick (28 October 2019).

... New, long enough, no copyvio issues, QPQ provided. Reads well and referenced adequately. Hook is interesting and is in article followed by a citation to a reference containing the hook fact. Looks straight forward. Image is clear and free. Thank you. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:46, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dumelow and Whispyhistory: the hook seems to be heavily reliant on the inclusion of the image to be interesting—I suggest, as courtesy to whomever may promote your hook (there's a decent chance it'll be someone else at the moment), that you two work out a hook that is less reliant on an image so that the promoter does not feel obligated to promote the hook to the image slot. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 07:52, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
