Overall: Victuallers The hook might be even better if "historical" (or "built in the 1700s") was added and directly cited in the text to describe the structures. Also, "observatories" could be linked to Jantar Mantar. These are not problems, just suggestions. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 15:02, 11 December 2021 (UTC) To T:DYK/P2 without imageReply
