QPQ: Done.

Overall: Professional and smooth article and nomination. Small error: picture is not used in the article. And don't forget the QPQ. I would prefer for the caption to say Buddha images, but there may not be enough space. Pending the picture and the QPQ, I will pass the hook. Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 23:30, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Farang Rak Tham, thanks for your review. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I have been away on holiday. I have added the image to the article and carried out a QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/London-class battleship. I don't mind if the caption is changed if it is more accurate, I just went by our article which frequently refers to them as "the Buddhas", we could also use "one of the Buddha statues" if that sounds better- Dumelow (talk) 18:46, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

No problem for the delay. Passing hook. Caption does not need to be changed, because there is not enough space to do so.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 08:54, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
