Poliçan, Gjirokastër

 * ... that Poliçan is the northernmost settlement of Pogoni, a region divided between Greece and Albania and home to polyphonic singing?

Created by Alexikoua (talk). Self nominated at 20:36, 7 February 2015 (UTC).


 * "Home to" -- what does that mean? EEng (talk) 05:18, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The article is new (newly fivefold expanded) and long enough (3,307 characters). Its within the policy. The hook is not too long (129 characters). --Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:22, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Since my question didn't get answered, I'm striking hook to emphasize that I don't understand what it means, nor can I discern from the article: is it where polyphonia originated, or just where it's done a lot now? EEng (talk) 14:24, 11 February 2015 (UTC)


 * The hook is cited and interesting. Symbol question.svg (the above question regarding "home to" wording should be replied). Instead of the striking hook it is better to use recommended template . --Antidiskriminator (talk) 15:25, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Since it's unlikely to be used in its current form, and fixing it in place would make nonsense of the posts so far, it's indeed a good idea to strike it. Whoever fixes it should do that by creating an ALT1. EEng (talk) 15:47, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Polyphonic singing is part of the town's musical tradition, thus, I've made the appropriate adjustments in the article. Alt. hook:
 * ALT1: ... that in Poliçan, southern Albania, as well as in the rest of Pogoni region, polyphonic singing is part of the local musical tradition?Alexikoua (talk) 22:07, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
