Philippeion, Olympia

• ... that in Greek architecture the round tholos form (example pictured) offered an escape from the "austere conventions" of Greek temple design? Source: Lawrence, A. W., Greek Architecture, 1957, Penguin, Pelican history of art, p. 187: "their more or less secular functions gave partial exemption from the austere conventions that governed the design of temples".

Overall: Unless I am missing something (which is possible), it seems that the article does not meet the 5x expansion threshold, comparing this diff (616 words, 3,478 characters) with the current article (1,797 words, 10,427 characters). Without meeting this, it does not qualify for DYK. I would suggest expanding the article because it would make a good addition to DYK. Ergo Sum 02:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

  • Now Prose size: 2509 words, 14847 characters, nearly there. Johnbod (talk) 17:09, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
• Ok, now: Prose size: 2972 words, 17754 characters, which is x5 (for the characters). Very sorry for the delay! New hook possibilities have opened up, or should we just get it underway. Johnbod (talk) 22:44, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Up to you whether you want to add an alt hook, but the current one is good to go. Ergo Sum 17:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Many thanks - I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. Johnbod (talk) 23:47, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
