Date, length and hook all OK. I'm not too sure the pics adequately suit the hook but I'll let the promoter decide. QPQ done. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 16:58, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- How is ALT 2? I think the caption and picture are probably more suitable. In retrospect, picturing Leopold II also doesn't make any sense, so I've struck that one out. Oreo Priest talk 17:52, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
That picture is better and I have no problem with it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:55, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- Late offer of image - its a zoom on the painting in the article Victuallers (talk) 08:56, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- That looks good too! Thanks for the suggestion. Oreo Priest talk 14:34, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
