Some remarks

edit

Dear Hanna,

I have read your sandbox-article about the Diary of the Shah of Persia during his Tour through Europe 1873. I was really impressed!

This is the kind of information that makes Wikipedia into a real rich encyclopedia, for now and for the future. Thanks a lot for this valuable contribution so far.


Some general remarks in the first place:

Some smaller remarks:

  • the title. I should say "Tour", not "tour".
  • I personally like to make a small "bibliographic" paragraph at the beginning of an article on a book (see for instance Life of Sir William Petty 1623 - 1687), with things like:
    • the original title; could you provide that, perhaps? I suppose it was written in Farsi, originally.
    • OCLC ref. nr
    • When was it translated? etc.
    • I think most of your paragraph "Context" could be integrated in this "Bibliography" as well.
  • Persia or Iran: I don't think it is a problem. Just use "Persia", as it was called in those days. The link redirects directly to "Iran" in en-Wikipedia.
  • some smaller corrections I made directly in the sandbox:
    • link to other lemmata: only one time.

List of travel books for other examples.
