Approve Alt1 The article was created on the 14th, so it is new enough. It is significantly over the 1,500 character requirement, so it is long enough. The article reads neutrally, has inline citations, and I ran a copyvio check and came up with no issues. AGF faith for the offline and non-English sources. I'm going with Alt1 because I feel it is interesting and more concise than the original hook, as "mounted on pillars" isn't necessary information. It is short enough, neutral, and has an in-line citation to support it. The QPQ has been done and there is no image to review. Good to go. Silver seren^C 00:44, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah: - based on a comment recently made on "ERRORS" about a similar worded "no one knows" item I chose to go with a slightly altered hook - "that it is not known who sculpted the lion statues in front of the Mahane Yehuda Police Station in Jerusalem?". Technically whomever sculpted the knows who sculpted it. So the adjustment is made to ensure it'll run on the front page without issues, hope that is not a problem? It is in Prep 3 right now with time to adjust if need be. MPJ-DK 01:08, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
