Ludwigsburg porcelain[edit]

Dancers, c. 1763
- ... that some Ludwigsburg porcelain figures from the 1760s (example pictured) show the lighter dance costumes pioneered by the ballet master Jean-Georges Noverre?

5x expanded by Johnbod (talk) and Vami IV (talk). Nominated by Johnbod (talk) at 02:19, 28 August 2018 (UTC).
Substantial expansion, on multiple sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I changed the pictured-clause to more standard. The image is licensed and a good illustration. - A few questions, suggestions more than needed for an approval:
- prose: some sentences have an abundance of commas (for my taste), example "After an artistically, but not financially, successful first two decades, the factory ..." - I think "an" doesn't match "decades", and it is difficult reading, taking too long until we reach "decades".
- images: I am no friend of text squeezed between images, - less might be more.
- I don't need the description of the logo when it is also shown - but much later.
- article name: I see that there are many more links to the Manufactory than to "porcelain", - move article or change links?
- How should we understand that lead and article say production stopped in 2010, and the article also says that production "halted" in 2016?
- Food for thought? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:20, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- No, really this should go on the talk page not here. Taking your points:
- that one reworded
- that was Vami - changed back
- well you do really
- It's just been moved to reflect reliable sources, and place the emphasis on the wares not the company. I've updated Template:Porcelain, which accounts for the great majority of them [in fact all of them it seems]. The other links will catch up in time.
- 2016 was added by Vami. A certain contradiction: I'm pretty sure no porcelain was being made in 2016 so I've removed that.

thank you for explaining and fixing my mistake. The template change helps a lot, thanks for fixing that especially. Excuse my lazyness (not to go to the talk page, - also I think that's for all, while these were questions just for you authors), I am a bit tired after having to deal with another RD for hours. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:53, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- I may have misread the source I used for 2016, because I almost made a grave error in the same section, also working from a German-language source or two. –Vami_IV† 17:51, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
