I've added the sentence in a clear manner as requested. Apologies for the late response. Homerethegreat (talk) 21:05, 2 March 2024 (UTC) Regarding sourcing, is this alright: https://smarthistory.org/synagogue-dura-europos/ ? Thank you for your time. Homerethegreat (talk) 21:09, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

@AirshipJungleman29: Is this ready to be approved? If not, what else needs to be done? Z1720 (talk) 18:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

there are still entire paragraphs with no citations, failing WP:DYKCITE. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Sorry @AirshipJungleman29:, @Z1720: I did not notice, I must have associated the outline with the lead for some reason. I've fixed it. Anything else? Homerethegreat (talk) 07:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

@AirshipJungleman29: Have your concerns been resolved? Is there anything else that needs to happen for this to be approved? Z1720 (talk) 15:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't see where the article states, or which citation supports, the assertion that Dura-Europa "epitomizes" ancient Jewish art. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, and it plainly isn't true! When the murals were uncovered about a century ago everyone was astonished. There might be a hook in that. For refs see the article on the site, which I've linked in the hook. Johnbod (talk) 02:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

@Homerethegreat: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 19:07, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

To clarify, any number of hooks saying that they are the most impressive/extensive etc ancient Jewish murals would be correct, & should be easy to reference. What they are emphatically not is in any way typical of other survivals. They are unique & stand alone, so "epitome" is not the right word. Johnbod (talk) 04:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for late response but I will be able to address the issue only later. In the meanwhile if you prefer another word to “epitome” than please feel free to change to whatever best suits Wiki rules, I agree it’s not the right word in retrospect so it can be changed to “characterized”. Thank you for the understanding. Homerethegreat (talk) 07:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
