China painting

 * ... that china painting (illustrated) was considered a boon to ladies who had nothing better to do than novel reading?
 * Reviewed: John Komnenos (Domestic of the Schools), Music in early modern Scotland, From Elvis in Memphis
 * Comment: The citation is at the end of the block quotation that includes the hook. The same citation could be given after each sentence in the quotation, I suppose, but that would look very strange. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:30, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

 * For the hook, I think "reading novels" sounds more natural than "novel reading".  It Is Me Here  t /  c  22:40, 1 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree, as in ALT1 below: Aymatth2 (talk) 23:53, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT1 ... that china painting (illustrated) was considered a boon to ladies who had nothing better to do than read novels?


 * Symbol voting keep.svg This comprehensive article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain. Going with ALT1 which has a citation at the end of the block quotation. The article is neutral, and Googling a few sentences brought up no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:25, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hook is a close paraphrase of the quote. Please quote it or come up with another. Fuebaey (talk) 14:39, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Never mind, nominator hasn't logged for a few weeks. Try this:
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg ALT2 ... that while in the late 19th century china painting (illustrated) was considered a craft for women "who have nothing better to do than novel reading," feminist artists have since restored it as a fine art form? Fuebaey (talk) 22:01, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
 * The original hook, a close paraphrase, may be acceptable since the source is long out of copyright and is cited inline before the quote in the article to avoid plagiarism. But how about ALT3 below? Aymatth2 (talk) 16:10, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
 * ALT3 ... that in the late 19th century china painting (illustrated) was considered a useful occupation for women "who have nothing better to do than novel reading"?
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Ah, sorry about that. Should've realised it was Public Domain as a pre 1900's publication. Completely went past me. ALT3 is acceptable. I think I prefer it over "boon", which sounds a bit archaic. Good to go on Cwmhiraeth review. Fuebaey (talk) 05:39, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
