  • Article is new and long enough with 4,247 chars at nomination time. It is neutral and cites sources inline. I AGF for external links I can not access. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports low copyvio rates between 1.0 and 8.3%. Hook is well-formatted and interesting. Its length is just at limit with 200 chars. Its fact is cites inline. İmage is found in the article, is ©-free and appears good in small size. QPQ was done. I will approve after your action regarding following question.
  • İs it possible that the temple is at (N 15 45' 15" E 75 9' 14") and not at (N 15 45' 46" E 75 6' 36) as given in the infobox? Please recheck and modify or comment. CeeGee 10:47, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
  • CeeGee Thanks for the review. As I could not access the exact coordinates of the temple I used the coordinates of the Saundatti town where the temple is located. I would rather go with the coordinates given by you. I have made corrections in the infobox. I hope it is ok now.Nvvchar. 12:59, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
  • Everything is fine now. Good to go. CeeGee 13:06, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
  • The hook is poorly written and hard to understand. Can it be sharpened? Yoninah (talk) 20:09, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Yoninah I am suggesting the following ALT2 hook.Nvvchar. 00:48, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

ALT1 hook: ... that in the Yellamma temple, Saundatti (pictured) the ancient practice of dedication of girls to the temple under Devadasi system is now claimed to have been eliminated by Karnataka

  • Yoninah I have done some copy editing and also slightly changed the text in the above hook.Nvvchar. 10:18, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
  • OK, all issues addressed. I am tightening and fixing the grammar in the ALT1 hook as follows:
  • ALT2: ... that the Government of Karnataka claims to have eliminated the ancient practice of dedicating girls to the Yellamma Temple (pictured)?
  • I've also edited the image caption and fixed the credit line with the page rename. Rest of review per CeeGee. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:14, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
