The Building of Skadar, Old Rashko
[edit]( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
- ... that Jacob Grimm described The Building of Skadar, recorded after the singing of Old Rashko, as "one of the most touching poems of all nations and all times"?
- Reviewed: Shane Larkin and Emmanuel de Martonne

Both articles new enough, long enough, well-sourced, no close paraphrasing seen. 2 QPQs done. Hook ref verified. However, the hook fact should appear in both articles per DYK rules.- Personally, I think the assessment of von Goethe that the poem is "superstitiously barbaric" is much more hooky, as is any of the barbaric description of the poem, or a mention of the motif of human sacrifice.
- BTW, I tried to italicize the page title of The Building of Skadar, without success. Can you help? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:17, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
- The hook fact is now mentioned in both articles. Thank you for your formatting suggestion. I don't agree that Goethe's assessment is more hooky. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 09:05, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
