... that the Prosphorion Harbour in Constantinople could have derived its name from the goddess Hecate (pictured)?

The article is new and long enough (4.379 characters). The hook is not too long (105 characters). The image is free, but I think it does not show up well at small size (100 × 100px). Maybe its cropping would resolve this?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:52, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Antidiskriminator, what about this new one? BTW, how should be the right proportion? Alex2006 (talk) 09:45, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Alessandro57. Thank you for another beautiful article. What I had in mind is actually cropping the original image to enlarge it to appear better. Something like this, if you agree:

Hecate, cropped

Hello Antidiskriminator, thanks for appreciating it! Unfortunately I have no image processing software here, but it would be great if you could crop the goddess :-), so that we can use it. Alex2006 (talk) 11:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

But I already cropped it. Look at the image I presented here and compare it to the image you originally added. Cropped Hecate appear much better in 100 × 100px size. If you agree it is easy to replace it?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:57, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Of course I agree, Antidiskriminator, thanks! Alex2006 (talk) 12:03, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Done! Alex2006 (talk) 12:06, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. The hook is cited and neutral. Before final approval I suggest to check the tense of the hook and if it is better to use "could have derived" instead of "could derive" (sorry if I am wrong here)? Good to go. Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:23, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Antidiskriminator, I will ask a native speaker: I was born under the shade of St. Peter... :-) Alex2006 (talk) 12:30, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
