Skara Missal
... that the Skara Missal (illuminated page pictured), a 12th-century book, may have been made in England, France or Norway, but belongs to a library in Sweden?
Created by Yakikaki (talk). Self nominated at 21:01, 23 July 2014 (UTC).
The claim of where the book may have been "made" (do we like "made" there? I feel like another verb might be preferable, like "written" or "composed", etc.) is based in part on a Swedish-language source that I, at least, cannot read, but the other source used makes the claim seem very reasonable. I'm a relative novice at DYK review, so I'm not sure if this is "hooky" enough -- since I'm familiar with Skara (I've traveled there), I thought the foreign origins of the missal were at least a little intriguing, but I do wonder if there's a way of making the missal sound even more exotic or exciting? The image is PD and has rollover text on this page (but not on the article page...is that ok? the DYK review guidelines don't make it clear where the rollover text needs to appear), it's certainly relevant to the article, and it's intriguing (if a little muddy in color) in the small thumbnail size used for DYK. Anyway, as it is, overall it looked good to me. Jwrosenzweig (talk) 05:32, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review! I have added an alt-text to the picture in the article. The degree of "hookiness" is up to the reviewer as I understand it, so if you think it can be improved, let's try to do so. :-) Perhaps this could be an idea?
- Alt 1: ... that even though the 12th-century Skara Missal (illuminated page pictured) has been referred to as "Sweden's oldest book", its origins remain unclear? Yakikaki (talk) 07:18, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the alt-text add to the photo in the article! And for being patient with a fairly novice DYK reviewer. :-) Honestly, I prefer this Alt 1 hook -- a little mystery, and a superlative claim, seem a better fit for DYK, to me. Do I need to use some fancy checkmark symbol to indicate my preference, or is this comment sufficient? :-) Jwrosenzweig (talk) 03:39, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
Per the above review, and reviewer and nominator preferring ALT1. Striking original hook.— Maile (talk) 21:51, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
