Khairatabad Ganesh in 2021

To T:DYK/P7

• ... that the height of the Ganesh idol at Khairatabad in India (pictured) was increased by one foot every year between 1954 and 2014? Source: Khairatabad Ganesh to be 50 feet tall from next year
  • ALT1: ... that the Ganesh idol at Khairatabad (pictured) was the tallest idol of Ganesha in India in 2019? Source: How a 1-foot idol set up in 1954 in Hyderabad became India’s tallest Ganesh idol

  Khairatabad Ganesh in 2019

A 5x expansion was accomplished on the date of the nomination. No close paraphrasing was found. I think ALT0 may have somewhat internationally broader appeal and is also a more interesting hook in general; it is verified in the source and is cited inline. No QPQ is needed here. Both images are fine but I think the 2021 image is slightly more clear. My only concern is the sentence During the same time, the organizing committee announced their plans to build 70-foot eco-friendly Ganesh idol made out of clay in 2022: I'm not sure if the article should instead say "plans to build a 70-foot", please clarify if "plans to build 70-foot" (without the "a") is correct in Indian English.

@Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for pointing this out. Yes, it should've been "plans to build a 70-foot." Not sure how we missed it but I corrected it now. -- Ab207 (talk) 12:00, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. All issues are now addressed so this is now GTG. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:03, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
