Children of Llullaillaco

[edit]
  • Reviewed: I am exempt from QPQ as I have zero DYK credits.

5x expanded by CJK09 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:51, 9 August 2017 (UTC).

  • Has been expanded by 5x if you go by character count - I make it roughly 1826 characters expanded to 9473 (only counting relevant text). I was concerned that the word-count seemed to place it just under the criteria by about 50-70 words, but looking at DYK regs, it only says about character count, so this safely passes the 5x expansion limit by almost 350 characters. So it passes there. The article is good, and I could find no copyright triggers in a Earwig check, except for a few appropriately used quotations which don't count as copyvio, institution names, and a few extremely normal word combinations such as "on top of the mountain" - NOTHING to cause concern there. There is ONE issue though: "La niña del rayo appears to have been treated less roughly than the other two sacrifices." needs a citation. There are a couple other sentences that should really be cited, but I feel that cites seem redundant because we can tell from the text that the Incas DID indeed consider it a great honour to die as a sacrifice, and that Mummy Juanita WAS found on a mountaintop too.

  • User:Mabalu, thanks for reviewing my nomination. I've added a source for the sentence about la niña del rayo (and fixed a small error I had made), and also added a source for the fact that the Inca people considered it a great honor to be chosen for sacrifice.

  • - Looks good to go. A couple of the sources are in Spanish and are accepted in good faith. Mabalu (talk) 09:18, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
