Newborn monument[edit]

(

)

... that the Newborn monument (pictured) in Pristina, Kosovo, was unveiled on the day of the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence?

Created/expanded by Arianit (talk). Nominated by Gilliam (talk) at 09:52, 30 March 2013 (UTC).

ALT1: ... that Kosovo built the 9 ton, 3 by 24 by 1 meter (9.8 by 79 by 3 foot) Newborn monument (pictured) in only ten days to celebrate its independence?

(The dimensions can be tweaked, but I think it's important to mention the sheer size of this thing in addition to the speed with which it was built. Andrew³²⁷ 22:03, 30 March 2013 (UTC))

ALT 1 is fine by me. - Gilliam (talk) 09:41, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

New article at time of nomination, prose 3.1k, not a BLP. Article is neutral and well cited. Article is interesting. Both hooks are short enough.
Both hooks are cited within the article.
There does seem to be too close paraphrasing between the article, and cite 3. Martin451 (talk) 07:00, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Nominator has not worked on this article since April 9. Please do work with the suggestions as raised above, otherwise we do need to delist this nomination. —♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 12:21, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Good catch, I'm not the original submitter, but I fixed the more egregious paraphrasing issues. Andrew³²⁷ 19:43, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

It's good to go now, I would argue. —♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 08:43, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
