Your DYK nomination of Margaret Rodgers (deaconess)
Hi, thanks for nominating Margaret Rodgers (deaconess) for DYK. Please note that the maximum allowed length of a DYK hook is 200 characters, but the one you supplied is 229. Unfortunately, it will have to be edited or replaced with a shorter hook. M AN d ARAX •  XAЯA b ИA M  20:57, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the new hook. I wanted to explain why I removed the original hook, replacing it with the new one. I've seen the way things work at DYK. If I had kept the original, someone would have come along and left a note on the nomination simply saying that the hook was too long. Then the nomination is poisoned. As soon as anyone writes anything on a nomination, nobody else will touch it, and it will go weeks before anyone gets around to reviewing it. M AN d ARAX •  XAЯA b ИA M  20:26, 14 June 2014 (UTC)


 * How do you feel about the latest ALT proposed? I am happy to refuse it if you are unhappy with it. Jack1956 (talk) 23:04, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Colin°Talk, Thank you, Colin! It is quite remarkable how the mosaic artist has achieved that on a curved surface. Of course viewing it on a page doesn't give the wonderful effect that it has on the semi-dome. .... How I love Venice!  I once had a happy holiday in a little pensione that looked out onto the domes, and the clock tower. Sigh! I am really thinking about the geometry of what the artist has done, now.
