  • Nice article, long enough and posted by due date. Hook is interesting, cited and verified. No copy vio noted. Text is neutral. Img is very nice, freely licensed and is very good to be in the lead. QPQ done. GTG.Nvvchar. 02:30, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but I am having trouble understanding this sentence:
  • The lower half, and the upper-most resemble the serpent's form, while the middle and the upper part are that of a maiden.
  • What is "the uppermost"? The uppermost half? There are only two halves in a whole. Where does the middle and upper part belong? BTW I connected this description of Ulupi with the previous paragraph, as otherwise it would need a cite, per DYK rules.
  • Regarding the hook, "redeemed her husband's life from death" is wordy and ungrammatical. I think you mean "restored her dead husband to life". Yoninah (talk) 21:31, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
