[edit]
House of the king of Bawomataluo Site
... that the Bawomataluo Site (pictured) integrates with the past rituals of megalithic period and represents the "livelihood of people in the past that is rich in megalithic tradition and religious rites?
- ALT1:... that the house (pictured) of the Chief or King of the community, at the southwestern end of Bawomataluo village, is said to be the "oldest and largest on Nias"?

I have spent a long time looking at this article and its sources. The main UNESCO source is written, I guess, by an Indonesian and is confusing, so it is not surprising that the article is confusing too. Take the first paragraph of the lead -
- Why is the article called "Bawomataluo Site"? The article is about a village not a site as far as I can make out.
- "It is a cultural heritage site with megalithic culture practiced in the housing settlement." What does this mean?
- "The settlement integrates with the past rituals of megalithic period and represents the "livelihood of people in the past that is rich in megalithic tradition and religious rituals."" What does this mean? Its gobbledygook to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:08, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
- Cwmhiraeth Thanks for the review. I used the title as given in the UNESCO ref. I have now changed the name of the article to Bawomataluo village. The confusing parts of the text in the lead have been modified.Nvvchar. 11:39, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
The article is new enough and long enough. Going with ALT1, the facts for which have inline citations. The image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or close paraphrasing issues. I did a bit more work on the lead.
