Church of St. Nicholas, Kuršumlija
[edit]
... that Saint Nicolas church, in Kuršumlija, Serbia is the oldest foundation of Serbian king Stefan Nemanja?
Created by Jakarandalu (talk). Self nominated at 14:51, 3 November 2013 (UTC).
- The article was little bit older than 5 days in the moment of nomination (8 days), but since it was created or expanded after the oldest date listed in Template talk:Did you know#Older nominations rule D9 applies here. The article is long enough (3,718 characters).
Large part of the second paragraph with more than 1,500 characters is completely unreferenced.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 10:03, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

- What does "oldest foundation" mean? It has the oldest foundation? It is the oldest church to be founded? -- Esemono (talk) 04:03, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- I have done some copy editing. It is all referenced, although a bit over-reliant on one source. The hook is not good, since the article discusses controversy over whether this is in fact the oldest church founded by Stefan Nemanja. Suggested alternatives:
- ALT1 ... that the Church of St. Nicholas (pictured) in Kuršumlija, Serbia, is one of the oldest founded by Stefan Nemanja?
- ALT2 ... that the Church of St. Nicholas (pictured) in Kuršumlija, Serbia, was completed in 1166?
- ALT3 ... that the roof of the Church of St. Nicholas (pictured) in Kuršumlija, Serbia, was melted down for bullets?
Needs a fresh review.

- For what it's worth, I like ALT3 more than the other two. (Maybe if 2 had more context about the timing or the importance of the year? but 3 is G2G.) — LlywelynII 09:43, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
