  • This article is indeed new enough, long enough, and cites sources with adequate inline citations. This hook works well and is an appropriate length for DYK, just under the wire. A QPQ review has also been completed. -- Caponer (talk) 23:46, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
  • I think the following is a little smoother:
  • ALT1: ... that the Privy Garden of the Palace of Whitehall (pictured in a 1747 painting by Canaletto) had a screen installed to ensure that passers-by would not see the English king naked in his bathtub?
  • No further review required for the ALT – it just rewords the (pictured) part. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 11:22, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Fine by me; I agree that it's better and the hook is still an appropriate length. Thanks, Mandarax. Prioryman (talk) 11:27, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
