Hi Gnomon smiley - hug

Me again, subbing your Entry here: A87873484 <--- don't forget to subscribesmiley - towel

>>The Topkapi<< I can find 4 mentions of this and on three of them have an entity letter at the end, like a small case "I" without the dot over it, but the other one has Topkapi, would you like me to change that to match the others, or is it different for a reason?

Abdülmecid, I thought I recognised his name. He was the Sultan who sent £1000 aid to Ireland during the great famine, even though they were non-Muslims.

Topkapi should always be spelt with that i without a dot. Thanks.

That's fixed nowsmiley - biro

If you don't mind, I have added a footnote to "trompe l'oeil" as I didn't recognise the name, but when I looked it up, I have seen this before, and it's very impressive how it can trick your brain.

Hi GB. It looks good.smiley - ok

There are two sentences that don't sound right.

"In 1843, Abdülmecid (reigned 1839-1861), the 31st Sultan, commissioned a new palace in a low-lying area on the shore of the Bosphorus."

I think the "reigned 1839-1861" would be better after "the 31st Sultan", so it should read:

"In 1843, Abdülmecid, the 31st Sultan (reigned 1839-1861), commissioned a new palace in a low-lying area on the shore of the Bosphorus."

"is plainly called the 'Administrative Part'"

I meant that it is a very plain name for a very ornate building. But "plainly" could be interpreted to mean "obviously". Perhaps you could reword us as:

"is simply called the 'Administrative Part'"

Thanks.
