- Comment: I'm using Wangdi dzong in the first 2 hooks instead of Wangdue Phodrang dzong since the hooks are quite large

- @Robert Motecinos Holda:
I believe the "dzong" be capitalized; looking at Bhutanese government English source (pdf), plus wikilinks in the Dzongs in the navbox below and all of them capitalize "Dzong". I suppose someone should file a RM at Wangdue Phodrang Dzong, I went ahead and did that. Otherwise, image is clear enough and checks out license wise, article is well-referenced, and all the hooks are cited inline. Copyvio score at 8%, just short phrases so no issues there. ALT0/ALT1 should be reworded, as "building Dzong would unite the country" and "build the Dzong and he would unite the country" are slightly different.
- ALT0a: ... that according to legend, Ngawang Namgyal founded the Wangdi Dzong (pictured) because an old man told him that if he did so he would unite his country?
- But I think that would significantly increase the length of the already-long hooks, so I will go with ALT3 personally. Juxlos (talk) 08:52, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
