Parapivot

(

... that the nine balls of Parapivot come from nine countries? Source: "The smoothly polished stones are sourced from nine different countries, ranging from Brazil to Norway, and their variations in color suggest the atmospheres of our celestial neighbors, as well as Earth’s own blue-marble appearance. " [1]
- ALT1:... that one of the balls in Parapivot is 1.6 tons? Source: "The 40-year-old, who is based in Berlin, has created “ParaPivot,” a massive metallic framework dotted with nine marble and granite spheres, one of which weighs 1.6 tons." [2]

Comment: I have a slight preference for the main hook over ALT1.

The article is tagged as an orphan and has a tag that says it contains too many or overly lengthy quotations for an encyclopedic entry. I agree with that and I would say that more than half of the article are quotations. SL93 (talk) 02:46, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

SL93, I will try to fix these problems in the next week or so. Thanks, StudiesWorld (talk) 11:53, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

SL93, I have lessened the reliance on quotes, such that they are fewer than 15% of the prose characters. I am leaving the tag to be removed by someone else. If you think more changes are necessary, please let me know. Thanks, StudiesWorld (talk) 13:55, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

This is ready. I have no preference on which hook is chosen. SL93 (talk) 19:35, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
