Picture of Ancient Egyptian jugglers

  • ... that Easwaran's Conquest of Mind gives advice on how to become a skilled juggler (pictured) in controlling one's mental "likes and dislikes"?

  • Move date was 27th, rather than 26th, but that obviously still qualifies it for DYK. Article is long enough. Hook is interesting, under 200 characters and verified by citation in article. AGF on offline source. QPQ has been met. Image is used in article, looks fine at a small size and is extracted from a larger free image, but it could do with having its author information updated. I also question whether you really need 15 citations in the last sentence of the lead, but this obviously doesn't have any bearing on your DYK nomination. All in all, good work!

OK, great, I'll assume this will promote unless I hear otherwise. FYI, per suggestion, I have removed a big batch of the citations from the lede. WRT the image authorship, I know nothing beyond what I can read via WP links. The hook image is the crop of a larger image that's been in WP Commons a long time and is declared public domain. The larger image was uploaded in 2007 by commons:User:Mattes who has over 200,000 edits to commons, is still active, has a committed identity, and was only blocked once (in 2006) and not for copyvio. So I'm inclined to think he knows what he's doing WRT image copyrights. He displays the original uncropped image in his gallery. I imagine that if anyone could improve authorship info, he could. -- Presearch (talk) 07:07, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Fair enough, this looks good to go then. Nice job! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 13:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
