... that the Lion Pagoda (pictured), a Treasure of South Korea, is one of Hwaeomsa's four stone pagodas?

Hook: Short enough. Interesting enough. It should either specify which particular temple, or it should make clear that this is a feature of many/all such temples. Article: Long enough. New enough. Hook is supported by source. Greg Bard (talk) 15:30, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Hmmm....I was worried that it would sound repetitive... how about now? If not, a possible alternative is ...

ALT1: ~~... that the Lion Pagoda of Hwaeomsa (pictured), a Treasure of South Korea, was probably erected during the Unified Silla period?~~

(Incidentally, it is very rare to have four pagodas at a Korean temple.)

As a person who doesn't know anything about it, the hook was unclear to me. But it looks good to me now. Greg Bard (talk) 00:05, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Kudos! Thanks for checking the article.Waygugin (talk) 06:54, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Article needs formal approval (including icon), and a specification as to which hooks are approved, so it can be promoted. I've labeled ALT1 and adjusted the lines so it's easier to see the hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:55, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, nicely written. Original hook is more interesting, and foreign-language hook ref is AGF. The licensing on the image, however, is unclear; it is downloaded from a Cultural Heritage Association website, and it is not clear whether it is really public domain. Otherwise good to go.
