A very nice article, well written, well referenced, informative, engaging, and on a neglected area. Kudos to the writers! Hook is referenced, interesting, image is appropriately licensed, QPQ has been done. I made a small correction to the wording, as Edward VII did not actually decorate Aqil, but otherwise it is good to go! Constantine ✍ 16:41, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
