 * Symbol question.svg interesting, well sourced. Please format the bare urls. The hook: can we compare the plural "mandolins" to the singular "Stradivarius"? I miss an inline citation for it. Please mention (pictured) somehow. - How about mentioning the one bought by the Tsar's relative? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:04, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Its on page 67 in Sparks' book - the same page which is cited after the next sentence. We don't have a picture of the one bought by the Tsar's mother. See if you like the hook better now. User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 01:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg yes --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:52, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * ps: considering that the very flat picture will probably not be taken anyway, you may want to have an alternative about the more spectular instrument ready, I will keep watching, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:54, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * We can't use the more spectacular one unfortunately because it's fairuse.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 13:10, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I know, that's why I asked for a hook without picture, - the one shown here will not likely be taken, as far as I know pic choices, Italic text
 * I thought hook and picture would be considered separately. The hook originally worked as well with the image as without it.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 16:55, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I was not clear enough: I meant a hook about the Tsarish instrument. (I shouldn't do it, or we need another reviewer for the ALT. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:03, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
