Vénus de Quinipily
... that The Iron Lady (pictured) was an object of a pagan veneration and was thrown into river twice as many couples performed erotic acts near the statue?
- Reviewed: Praxis Pietatis Melica

- I've done some copy-editing on the article. The hook seems reasonable, but I haven't checked any sources. --Slashme (talk) 08:01, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
The hook needs to be reworded. While the article says Template:Tq It doesn't actually say when these things happened, and that was only one of several different stories associated with its history. In a different section below that, it states Template:Tq and in 1670 Lannion ordered it smashed into pieces, but it was instead thrown into the river again. — Maile (talk) 20:42, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
ALT 1: ... that during seventeenth century, The Iron Lady (pictured) was an object of a pagan veneration and was thrown into river twice as many couples performed erotic acts near the statue?- Changed hook and article to add time. However, I dont get your second point about Lannions. Can you elaborate? - Vivvt (Talk) 15:21, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay in answering. I didn't see that you had asked me a question when you reworded the hook. And you might want to get an opinion besides mine. From the way I read the article, the performing of erotic acts is not specifically tied to why the statue was thrown in the river. The second quote is what I see in the article that says why the statue was thrown into the river. I'm not suggesting you need to name Lannion in the hook, just that the sentence where is says it was thrown in the river on the orders of Lannion is as I quoted it above. — Maile (talk) 00:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
- ALT 2: ... that during the seventeenth century, many couples performed "erotic" acts near The Iron Lady (pictured) and it was thrown into river twice for being an object of a pagan veneration?
- Template:Ping I get your point now. I have re-worded the hook. Sorry. I was busy with other article so could not comment here earlier. - Vivvt (Talk) 14:46, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Needs a complete revew. — Maile (talk) 21:21, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Five time expansion checks out, and although i can't read a couple of the hook refs, the one i did read was consistent with the hook. I made a few copyedits. hamiltonstone (talk) 07:06, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
