Stilt (ceramics)

 * ALT2: ... that Stilts are used to to stop melting glaze from fusing pots together. Source: Ceramic Art from Byzantine Serres pages 25-26

 * Symbol question.svg primary hook contains a redlink.


 * Primary hook sources are offline, source looks plausible, accepted under WP:AGF.
 * Article is long enough and new when nominated.
 * QPQ done.
 * Symbol question.svg ALT-1 is supported by a source, but it only indicates that one particular researcher has used stilts in this way, not that the practice is at all general.
 * ALT-2 accepted under AGF from offline sources (and I happen to know from personal experience thst it is accurate). However, ALT-2 is in my view not very interesting. I am adding an ALT-3.
 * No copyvio issues.
 * Article is within policy and is well sourced with inline citations.
 * Not approved pending addressing of the issues noted above. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 20:11, 22 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Noting in DYK policy says you can't have a red-link in the hook. 2 may not be the most interesting but given the likely confusion over the name its about the only way to avoid having issues with a misleading hook.©Geni (talk) 23:38, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , Did you know/Supplementary guidelines says: . Why not leave  in the hook but not wiki-link it? Or create kiln furniture as a stub?  DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 00:33, 24 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Hmm couple more options below (I don't like the chinese one because while that particular line of silt development goes back to china the ones from Ur are much the same):


 * Symbol voting keep.svg ALT4: ...that Stilts are a form of kiln furniture?


 * Symbol voting keep.svg ALT5 ... that some Stilts have been designed to be used within saggars? Ceramics: Pottery". The crafts of Roman Britain

 * ALT4 is basically ALT0 without the redlink. Sources for both ALT4 & ALT5 are offline, but cited inline and accords wiht my personal knowledge. Accepted on an AGF basis. This is now good to go with either ALT4 or ALT5. ALT3 was my own suggestion, so i can't approve it, but it could be OK if someone else does. I have no preference between ALT4 & ALT5. 5 is perhaps more interesting, but depends more on an unfamiliar technical term "Saggar". Nice job. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 17:33, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote ALT5, but first did some editing/wikifying of the article and also added an image of saggars. It would be nice if you had an image of a stilt.
 * The article is an orphan. Could you please link this page in at least one other Wikipedia article so it won't get an orphan tag? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:15, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Its not a orphan any more. Unfortunately the only image I have of a stilt sucks (the lighting in the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery is very poor).©Geni (talk) 00:00, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you. Restoring tick for ALT5 per DESiegel's review. Yoninah (talk) 07:42, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
