Article needs a copy edit, but it's interesting and I'll give it a full review when work has been done. Kingsif (talk) 16:40, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

- Oh, really. You'd better point to some examples. Johnbod (talk) 18:01, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
- I did this edit — as you can see there are still issues where the grammar is so poor I don't know what it's trying to say to correct it. Kingsif (talk) 18:06, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
- None of these changes have anything to do with "grammar", or the DYK criteria. Any further discussion should be on article talk. I must admit that I hadn't anticipated that anyone could get 2/3 of the way through an article on 18th-century porcelain, which had already linked to and mentioned the Republic of Venice, and them declare themselves confused as to whether a further mention of "the republic" meant that or the Republic of Italy (established in 1946), but I suppose it shows you have to be ready for all eventualities.

The number of commas I moved sure were grammar, but you're right, there was a lot of poor syntax, too. Be prepared for people who perhaps click on the link from DYK and don't know about the history of Italy! Enjoy working on it, it is interesting, you can ping me when tags addressed or reply here :) Kingsif (talk) 18:14, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Looks good. No copyvio. Hooks cited, but alt0 seems basic, so I prefer alt1. Kingsif (talk) 13:08, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
