  • Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well written. I prefer ALT1, which is very interesting and supported by cited source, except that the source says it's "probably" dated to 1597. QPQ is done. No copyvio detected. Image is freely licensed, but I'm afraid it does not look too good with the tree and lamppost obscuring the view. -Zanhe (talk) 18:39, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Zanhe, maybe we can just drop the date - Dumelow (talk) 16:04, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
That sounds good. ALT2 is good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 16:58, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
