No dablinks, no copyvio detected. Fairly well-written, only a few comments: Sainsf (talk · contribs) 08:45, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • Citations are typically excluded from the lead unless something controversial is claimed.
Middle Ages
  • Al-Birwa was mentioned in the historical record in 1047 CE You mean first mentioned? (If reworded, repeat in the lead)
  • Wikilink Acre at first mention in the section.
  • Source for the last line?
  • I revised the first line since the source doesn't say this was the "first" time Birwa was mentioned in history. It could be that Birwa has a pre-11th century history but I just haven't discovered it yet in my research. None of the sources I have mention a pre-medieval past, but archaeological finds show some kind of activity during the late Byzantine/Umayyad period. The last two points have also been taken care of.

British Mandate period
  • Cement roofs became widely used al-Birwa in the 1930s ...used "in"...
  • A link or explanation would be good for "olive presses". The meaning may not be apparent at first.
  • Residents of the village owned a total of 600 cattle, 3,000 goats and 1,000 chickens When were these figures recorded?
Aftermath
  • The area remained under Martial Law until 1966. Source?
Archaeology
  • Late Byzantine and Umayyad periods Links and an idea of their time periods would be appreciated.

@Al Ameer son: It is soon going to b a week since I posted all my comments here. If you don't respond within a week of that, I will have to consider failing this. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 06:21, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sainsf: Sorry for the late reply, I was going to wait until I addressed all the points here before responding. I took care of some of the issues two days ago and the rest should be wrapped up by tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to review this article, Cheers --Al Ameer (talk) 16:33, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Sainsf: I've addressed everything except perhaps the last point, which I've only partially addressed. --Al Ameer (talk) 19:16, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for making the proper changes. We can promote this now. Cheers, Sainsf (talk · contribs) 08:13, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
