  • New? Yes, it was listed as a good article two days before being nominated for DYK.
    Long enough? Yes, easily.
    Neutral? Yes. Very good.
    Cites sources? Yes, neatly done.
    Copyright issues? None.
    Hook format? Good. Under 200 characters.

    QPQ? Yes, confirmed.

  • @Nvvchar: is the Lonely Planet travel guide the only source that makes this claim? Yoninah (talk) 22:04, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Yoninah Thanks for the review. I have added two more references. Gyurme Dorje's book is titled "Jokhang: Tibet's Most Sacred Buddhist Temple".Nvvchar. 02:11, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
