... that the Terebinth of Nero (pictured) in Rome was described to be as tall as Hadrian's Mausoleum? Source: "Nei Mirabilia il monumento viene descritto come imponente, addirittura alto come...il Mausoleo di Adriano" (Petacco (2016), p. 37)

Article is newly created and long enough. No copyright or neutrality issues detected. Hooks and article are referenced. However, the hook doesn’t seem very interesting. How would an average reader know how tall Hadrian’s Mausoleum is even to make the comparison? Waiting on QPQ.KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:57, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Hallo @KAVEBEAR:, thanks for reviewing! QPQ done. About the hooks, what about:

ALT1 ... that the Terebinth of Nero (pictured) in Rome was described to be as tall as Castel Sant'Angelo? Source: "Nei Mirabilia il monumento viene descritto come imponente, addirittura alto come il Castello di Crescenzio" (Petacco (2016), p. 37)

(the Mausoleum of Hadrian is now Castel Sant'Angelo, which is much more famous: in the middle ages it was known as Castello di Crescenzio) or

ALT2... that the Terebinth of Nero (pictured) in Rome got its name from a tree which shaded Saint Peter's tomb? Source: "La circostanza che fu proprio un terebinto l'albero sotto cui San Pietro fu sepolto...fece si' che, piu' tardi, si affermasse per il mausoleo anche il nome di Terebinthus" (Petacco (2016), p. 37)

Again comparing it to another building is not too interesting so I’m not too supportive of ALT1. I like ALT2 and it is cited in the article. QPQ is done and good to go.KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:55, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
