Hindu Temple of Dayton
[edit]- ... that the Hindu Temple of Dayton in Ohio was consecrated in 1985 and underwent two years of renovations starting in 2011?

- New enough, long enough, but some quality issues. Too many single-sentence paragraphs, many of which are unsourced. Rule of thumb is at least one source per paragraph. Hook checks out, though a bit pedestrian. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:04, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, Aboutmovies! I went added some references and cleaned up the paragraphs, as you suggested. Would you recommend a better hook for this page? I think a picture would greatly improve the page by showing the contrast of a beautiful Hindu temple in such an area, but I'm having trouble finding references to the architecture. Any suggestions?

- I don't know if this helps. You could find an image on Commons for this, I think. I'm not Hindu, so I found it interesting about bathing Venkateswara and Shiva. Maybe you could expand on that ritual a little for non-Hindus. Put one of those images in the article, and then a hook something like, " ... that at the Hindu Temple of Dayton , Shiva (pictured) is bathed every Monday." — Maile (talk) 12:57, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- good to go on the quality issue; as to the hook, when I read the article I also found the most interesting part to be about the bathing, which might not be interesting to Hindus as routine, but for others it sticks out. I'd suggest an alt along those lines. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:04, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
