• ... that prehistoric rock art paintings in a ritual site related to the cycle of life were found in the area of Vlashnjë in 2005?
  • ALT1: ... that in Vlashnjë in Kosovo, prehistoric rock art paintings in a ritual site related to the cycle of life were found in 2005? Shukriu (2006) Spirals of the prehistoric open rock painting from Kosova: "The open prehistoric rock art from Vlashnja (Mrrizi i Kobajës: Kobaja Shade) is an important discovery created in Kosova in the period between Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (3600 – 2000). The site seems to have served as a ritual landscape and revealed sacred geography. The image of the deer and (...) are linked with the worshiping of the Sun, the virtual circle of life, since the whole site have been a part of the initiation rituals. )

5x expanded by Maleschreiber (talk). Self-nominated at 15:34, 26 August 2020 (UTC).

• The article is long enough and has been expanded enough. I assume good faith on the references that I can't read. The hook is directly cited and a QPQ is not needed. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 23:37, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

• Could you move the bolded subject closer to the front of the hook? It takes a lot of reading to get to the end, and by then I lost interest. Yoninah (talk) 16:14, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

• I won’t, but maybe the nominator will. SL93 (talk) 16:40, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

I made the changes. Thanks for the observation Yoninah! --Maleschreiber (talk) 19:39, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

• @Maleschreiber: Thank you. In future, please add an alt instead of editing over previous hooks, as it makes it difficult for editors and administrators to follow the discussion. I have restored the thread.
• I'm just wondering if you need so much description in the hook. Could it be shortened to:
• ALT1a: ... that in Vlashnjë in Kosovo, prehistoric rock art paintings related to the cycle of life were found in 2005? Yoninah (talk) 19:44, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

We could shorten it. It'd be great to have a photo of the paintings[1], but I couldn't find any PD upload, so I tried to be as descriptive as possible.--Maleschreiber (talk) 00:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. Restoring tick for ALT1a per SL93's review. Yoninah (talk) 13:37, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
