Javanese traditional house
[edit]
This style of roof, called the joglo, is associated with Javanese aristocrats.
... that the roof shape of Javanese traditional houses (pictured) determined the social and economic status of the house owners?- ALT1

- I'm no expert, but surely it would be the other way round? I've added an ALT1 to reflect that. Edwardx (talk) 22:23, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Edwardx. The original hook refers to the fact that from outside of the house compound, you can only see the roof looming above the perimeter wall, and so you can determine what is the social status or the economic status of the house owner by observing the roof shape. I'm writing another ALT2, is this much understandable?
- Thanks. ALT2 is even better. I think you could cut the first "house", and that "ascertained" would be less ambiguous than "determined". Edwardx (talk) 11:07, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review Edwardx. I've fixed the wording. Anything missing? Oh and don't forget the approve it with the DYKtick ;) --Rochelimit (talk) 11:43, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

ALT3 approved. New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Good hook, which is cited. WP:AGF on the sources, which are all off-line. However, the hook fact can be confirmed with online sources. Not possible to assess close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism, but looking at some of the cumbersome English, I'm prepared to AGF on this. NPOV. Image license suitable for front page. Trimmed final "house's" from ALT3 hook. Edwardx (talk) 12:41, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
