Tiles from the Empire of the Sultans exhibition

... that most objects in the Empire of the Sultans travelling exhibition bore calligraphy (example pictured)? Source: "Everything in the exhibition, save a few ceramic works, contains calligraphy."

Moved to mainspace by MartinPoulter (talk). Self-nominated at 14:47, 21 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Empire of the Sultans; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Excellent article. New enough (when posted), some excellent images including the hook which is CC-by-SA. Lots of high quality cites. GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:16, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've marked an unreferenced section. Schwede 66 07:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: The source for that subsection is the source given for the section of which it is part: the appendix of the Khalili book which is ref 45 in the current version. Note that the cited sentence says "a total of sixteen venues" and the sixteen include the thirteen US venues. The same information is available in lots of other places, but it's neater to cite that summary table. How do you want it to be marked in the article that the source for the full section also applies to the subsection? MartinPoulter (talk) 12:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I've dealt with it; have a look at my edit. All is good in that case. Reinstating the green tick. The relevant rule is that each section must have at least one reference; that includes sub-sections. Schwede 66 19:05, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
