Article length

After my massive expansion of this article, I'm toying with the idea of submitting it for FA at some future date (and certainly not immediately), however I'm concerned about the article possibly being too lengthy - does anyone have an opinion on this? It might be worthwhile spooling off the majority of munuments etc. into a separate List of monuments at Takalik Abaj (for example) with just the more notable monuments being left here. On the other hand I might just throw the whole article up for FA review and see if it gets spat back out again. Any views either way? Simon Burchell (talk) 12:33, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

It's not too long for my tastes, but others less interested in the topic than I am may feel differently. Hard to predict what would be said in FAC, still a bit of a lottery. At >70kb it's getting up there, but there are some lengthier FAs around (Nahuatl is 98 kb for eg).

Agree that having a list of monuments article wld be the most sensible way to hive off some of the info. Maybe such a list can be started anyway, then if later during FA it becomes an issue a head-start has already been made (the list wld not necessarily be in same format/presentation/content as the info currently in the article). I would not want to lose all that info from the main article altogether, agree it needs to cover at least the major / more significant ones.--cjllw ʘ TALK 01:19, 3 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

For the record, in case anyone comes along here in a year or two's time and wonders if this is a reduced article - the whole thing got through FA unscathed. Simon Burchell (talk) 11:47, 7 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

spelling

Spelling varies throughout the article, and the placement of the glottal stop seems inconsistent with the given Mayan pronunciation. So which is it: a'baj, ab'aj', ab'aj, or abäj? Or are these variants? Is there a standard spelling?--2.200.163.108 (talk) 11:45, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
