Note that the EB article on the topic discusses two separate temples of Piety and then places them in exactly the same area of Rome without noticing that it has. Presumably, pending other sourcing, it's just mistakenly dividing the single temple. — LlywelynII 14:18, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by LlywelynII (talk). Self-nominated at 17:34, 8 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Temple of Piety; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

I will review this in the coming days! WatkynBassett (talk) 20:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article was expanded more than 5x (in reality probably more than 20x).
The article clearly has over 1500 characters of readable prose.
The article is sourced. I did spot checks on a few sources, and they checked out, but it was not always clear if a source really covered all information contained in the statements before - but this is not an issue for DYK.
The article is written in a neutral and non-promotional tone and is in every aspect a professional scholarly work.
Concerning close paraphrasing I (and Earwig) did pick up "his son of the same name". This could be rephrased, but I will not make my approval depended on it.
QPQ: Done, even if you jumped in late into the review.
- Hook: I find the original and ALT1 hook original and suitable and thus reviewed it:
- Original: I find no issues - because the source also states that JC destroyed it, I will not object to the fact that he may have ordered it but had nothing to do with the destruction itself.
- ALT1 Again no issues.
- Images: No issues detected.
  - This is quality work - thanks for creating scholarly knowledge on ancient Rome! I approve the Original and the ALT1 hook. While I personally like ALT1 more, I will leave the final choice for the promoter. WatkynBassett (talk)
    - @WatkynBassett: Thanks for the very kind words! I know it doesn't affect the DYK process but (a) remember you can {{ping}}, {{re}}, &c. people so they see your kind words xD and (b) it's unnecessary but helpful to the promoters if you <s>strike</s> the ALTs you don't use so it's a little clearer what they're looking at. Have a good weekend! — LlywelynII 22:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - Normally I do not forget that (see my ping for the additional German language sources) but now I did ... thanks for the reminder. Have a pleasant weekend as well! WatkynBassett (talk) 08:58, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Same deal as {{Did you know nominations/Jewish astrology}} and {{Did you know nominations/Marcus Junius Gracchanus}}: It's just disappeared from DYK without being promoted. Don't do that. @WatkynBassett:You might need to use the OK tick mark to let them know the review is completed. — LlywelynII 14:38, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the ping, @LlywelynII:; as my technical understanding is limited, I just ticked again - this nomination was approved by me WatkynBassett (talk) 14:54, 20 August 2023 (UTC) [reply]
  - Just to be clear, the large building in [[File:Theater_of_Marcellus_and_Forum_Olitorium.jpg]] is not the Temple of Piety itself, correct? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - @LlywelynII: another ping because typo. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:29, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
