Bell shrine

  • This is good to go just pending the QPQ being finished. I like the hook, really interesting especially from a historical perspective. Article's new and long enough. Hook is cited and in line with requirements. Just need to do the QPQ and it'll be good. Good job! Soulbust (talk) 02:40, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks. I need a day to sort this out. Bear with me, thanks. Ceoil (talk) 02:45, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
  • @Ceoil: It's been seven days since your last comment. Have you been able to accomplish your QPQ? Per DYK rules, a nomination may be marked for closure if a QPQ is not provided within seven days of a reminder. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:56, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
am travelling, will be back tomorrow nightCeoil (talk) 15:17, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Alright yep this should be good to go then. Soulbust (talk) 00:15, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
  • @Ceoil: the article only says "presumably they were hidden", but the hook states this as established fact. Also, the sentence in the article that states the hook fact needs a citation right there, not at the end of the paragraph per WP:DYKCRIT#Cited hook. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:53, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that it is thought that a number of early medieval Irish bell shrines were deposited in bogs or rivers to avoid Viking raiders? Source: * Bourke, Cormac. "Bell-Shrines".

"burying" in a river sounds ... wet work. Or "hidden"? Johnbod (talk) 04:00, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
Johnbod, Ceoil, I'd go with "hidden" over "deposited"; "avoid" is also an odd locution; why not "save them from"? Finally, the Viking sentence in the article is not sourced to the Bourke 2014 in the article, and needs to be (including page number) if this hook, or a variant thereof, is to be used, as RoySmith notes above. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
Yes, "avoid" is a bit mild - "evade" or "escape" perhaps, or what you said. I'll let Ceoil deal with the ref issue. Johnbod (talk) 03:41, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
Thanks all. The river bed thing is too hard to explain in a hook, but for such artifacts found at the bottom of rivers, the earlier examples were dislodged from Crannógs (eg the Ballinderry Brooch), the later from simple hiding on a river bank (eg the River Laune Crozier).

RoySmith, does ALT2 address your concerns? BlueMoonset (talk) 05:23, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
sounds good to me. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:59, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
Many thanks. Ceoil (talk) 11:00, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
I have to AGF on the source for ALT2 as it is offline. I actually prefer other images which are in the article, but will use the approved in the prep.
