Kingdom of Banggai

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that in local folklore, the ancestor of the kings of Banggai hatched from a serpent egg? Source: p53: "Bikusagara jumped back and noticed nearby four naga [serpent) eggs hidden among the rocks ... one of the men became the king of Bacan , the second the king of the Papuas, the third the king of Butung and Banggai, and the woman became the wife of the king of Loloda"

• New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Hook is interesting, but in the article you say the kings descended from hatchlings of serpent eggs (plural). Images in article are freely licensed. QPQ done.

• Kind of pedantic, but I believe that in the folklore quoted in the source, it's that one of the hatchlings' descendants became the king and not multiple of them. Juxlos (talk) 23:05, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

• @Juxlos: OK, so could you please edit the sentence in the article so it reflects the source correctly? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:21, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: Done. Juxlos (talk) 23:23, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

• @Juxlos: thank you. And can you make the hook wording match the article/source? Yoninah (talk) 23:26, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: I hate plural-singular words. Done. Juxlos (talk) 23:27, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

• OK, I found the snippet view of page 53 in the source and adjusted the wording in the article. Since the hook is talking about one of the four kingdoms, I think it's fine now. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:35, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
