interesting, on good sources, Italian ref accepted AGF. Both hooks don't excite to me, one not,one too specific. What do you think about something like:
ALT2: ... that the megalithic site of Hirebenkal (pictured), built over 2000 years ago, is with roughly 400 megalithic funerary monuments reported to be the largest necropolis in South India? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:26, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
ALT2 is fine.--Nvvchar. 17:56, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
ALT2, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Can we please have an independent confirmation on the several new hook facts introduced in ALT2? I also think that hook could be more effective if it were less wordy; I strongly recommend deleting "with roughly 400 megalithic funerary monuments", which also solves a wording issue.

  • 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, adequately sourced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT2 hook refs verified (first half) and AGF (second half of hook). I agree with BlueMoonset that the middle phrase should be deleted in the interests of wordiness and hookiness. Here is the approved hook:
  • ALT3: ... that the megalithic site of Hirebenkal (pictured), built over 2000 years ago, is reportedly the largest necropolis in South India? Yoninah (talk) 21:41, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
