QPQ is not from nom, but donated by a coäuthor, so that's fine. Might want to consider an image alt-hook built around File:Scene from The Gown of Destiny (1917).jpg. But this hook is interesting as it is, so approved; if anyone does want to suggest an alt hook, just ping me. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:37, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
