 * ... that Erdene Zuu Monastery in Mongolia has a 24-inch penis?

 * Done. Nvv will QPQ.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  22:46, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg The article seems to make a mistaken claim that there are two statues, with one being in the monastery. In fact, the cited source is clear that the 24 inch statue is the only one, with it being over a mile (two kilometers) away from the monastery. Leaving the obviously tongue-in-cheek nature of the hook aside, it does not appear that the claim about the monastery having this statue is even accurate. I would suggest a more accurate and less provocative hook, perhaps noting the legend of the statue itself.--The Devil&#39;s Advocate (talk) 22:00, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You're wrong. The 24 inch statue is in the monastery ground. There is an even larger one on the hillside to the southeast of the monastery, a large white one on a pedastal. So yes, technically the monastery does have a 24 inch penis statue. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  14:49, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Made amends in the article. Propose the following Alt 1 hook.
 * ALT 1: ... that a phallic rock has the function of reminding the monks of Erdene Zuu Monastery in Mongolia to remain celibate?-- Nvvchar . 07:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote4.png New ALT hook and article changes need reviewing. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, well-sourced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref is verified; I tweaked the hook for grammar and links. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 17:40, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * April fools', anyone? ALT2: ... that a monastery in Mongolia is home to a 24-inch stony wood? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * We would prefer it to appear as soon as finally approved and not wait for April Fool's day. Thank you.-- Nvvchar . 11:25, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Agreed. And original hook please.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  12:19, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
