ALT ... that a bridge (aerial view pictured) between India and Sri Lanka is said to be built by two monkeys, Nala and Nila?
Red, these are two fine looking articles. Let's do them justice by actually indicating we have two different articles by avoiding a sea of blue. Got ALT? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:34, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- Crisco 1492, suggested ALT. I thought naming them will take away the power of the power of "two monkeys".Redtigerxyz Talk 14:26, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- If there was only one link I'd agree with you, but... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:29, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- Crisco 1492, since the original epic says that the bridge is built by only Nala; what do you think if I split this?
ALT2 ... that a bridge (aerial view pictured) between India and Sri Lanka is said to be built by a monkey?
and another hook for Nila...
- (ec) A small text issue from the Nila article: The Ramayana specifics that Nala was part of the search party who headed in the southern direction. - Nala or Nila? (also, I'm sure this is specifies) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:36, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oops. Corrected.Redtigerxyz Talk 14:41, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- If you want to have two articles, fine, but honestly Nala has all of the "hookiest" elements IMHO. I'd keep them together. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:37, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- Crisco 1492, Nila urinates to disturb a sacrifice; hooky?Redtigerxyz Talk 14:41, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- Fair enough. So long as we don't change the Nala hook to one about ejaculating while hugging.

- Splitting DYK nom (Template:Did you know nominations/Nila (Ramayana)). Retaining ALT2. Thanks Crisco 1492 for the suggestions.Redtigerxyz Talk 15:12, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Nala article is new enough, long enough, and fairly grammatical (you have three disambiguation links in the paragraph starting "Telugu and Bengali adaptations", though). Image is free. Referencing is thorough. Hook fact is referenced, though offline. AGF on all offline sources. Good to go! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:46, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
