Thai royal funeral chariot
  • Please also consider this image (to the right) for ALT1. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:20, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
    • I'd forgotten about the image-appearing-in-the-article requirement. Never mind this one. I've modified ALT1 to use the same picture. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:48, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Article is new enough (1 day late not an issue), long enough, and no copyvio issues. For citations, you could use a citation in the "Royal Funeral Chariots" section, and the first paragraphs of the "Funeral Processions" and "Cremation" sections. I recommend the first hook because it 1) is more interesting and 2) contains a clearer image. The image for the hook looks good, but it needs to be included in the article too. My only other comment is that I'm not sure if the glossary section is appropriate. Would you be able to instead link to the relevent wiktionary pages throughout the article? Looking for a second opinion here because I'm not familiar with glossary sections here. --NoGhost (talk) 22:19, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
    • Current lead image
      Citations added. The image shows pretty much the same view as the current lead image in the article, which is higher quality, but due to its wider crop and less direct lighting wouldn't be as suitable as a DYK thumbnail. I could replace the lead image until it appears on DYK and switch it back later, but that would seem like using a loophole to circumvent the rules while not really improving the article. I'll ask on the DYK talk page for more input, but personally I think this is a case where WP:IAR could apply. As for glossary sections, they are expressly mentioned as an appropriate use of lists at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Embedded lists. I think that having the relevant terms covered here is better than offloading the content to Wiktionary, as the explanations can be more specific to the context (rather than mere dictionary definitions), and it's easier for the reader to access. (Almost none of the terms here currently exist on Wiktionary, by the way.) --Paul_012 (talk) 05:09, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
      • Great, thanks for the citations and the link to policy for glossaries. Looks good to me now. For the picture, I agree that the suggested DYK picture works better in small format. I suggest inserting it into the article perhaps after the historic photo of King Mongkut's cremation pyre where it fits with the article content decribing Mount Meru.--NoGhost (talk) 16:18, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
        • Okay, I've tried to fix the image artifact a bit, and substituted it as the lead image. (Didn't think having two photos of the same subject was warranted, given the availability of other pictures.) --Paul_012 (talk) 13:52, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
          • Symbol confirmed.svg I see no issue with including both images, one for general context and the other in reference to Mount Meru. But this works too, the nom should be ready to go now! --NoGhost (talk) 21:02, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
