Tiantishan Caves

 * ... that the early Buddhist wall paintings at the Tiantishan Caves (polychrome statues pictured) were detached due to the construction of a reservoir? (sources for hook: reservoir Buddhist)
 * Reviewed: Grey-and-buff woodpecker (here)

 * Symbol question.svg Interesting site, on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - I am not happy with the hook being about paintings, but statues pictured. The good licensed image is attractive: can you say something about the statues instead? - Article: "Caves is a series" is grammar I don't quite follow, - perhaps "The series of the Tiantishan Caves ..."? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:52, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Gerda Arendt, the nominator hasn't edited since the day this was nominated. If there isn't anything you can do to move this nomination forward, it may soon be time to close it if the issues are serious enough. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:32, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

There seems to be nothing written about the statues in the article. You can merely accept the original hook and just reject the image. Also I have suggested this hook as well:--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:48, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that the construction of the Buddhist cave temples at Tiantishan Caves was credited to a devoted Xiongnu king who wanted to avoid the impermanence of the city?


 * Symbol voting keep.svg I like the original hook better, but approve both, and the licensed image which is attractive and shows the style of the building. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:21, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
