 * Symbol confirmed.svg. Good information. I had never heard about it. Article is long enough for DYK and posted by due date. Hooks are interesting, cited and verified. No copy vio noted. Text is neutral. QPQ done. I prefer ALT1 hook. Nvvchar . 05:10, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * If you've never heard of the iron pillar of Delhi, ALT1 doesn't tell you much. What about:
 * ALT2: ... that the original Dhar iron pillar must have been almost twice as high and at least 1,000 kg heavier than the iron pillar of Delhi? Yoninah (talk) 23:12, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, this is probably better. I am OK with this. utcursch &#124; talk 01:53, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
