Review: July 4, 2023. (Reviewed version).

Name

The meaning of Antiphellus is "the land opposite the rocks", as stated by Bayburtluoğlu, who is an acknowledged expert of the region's ancient history. Phellus (meaning "rocks") was located inland and cannot be considered to be opposite Antiphellus, which served for a period as its port. Amitchell125 (talk) 07:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

Start the article with what the subject is, rather than what it did.

Done. AM

The lede feels lopsided, there's a noticeable lack of information on the site's history. It states that Antiphellus became the region's largest city, but then starts the next paragraph by stating that it was discovered. This needs to be expanded and made clearer.

Sorted. AM

Per spotcheck, In 1952, archaeologists showed that Antiphellus had only ever consisted of a few buildings. is just flat out untrue.

Sorted. AM

History

The Strabo quote appears to be unnecessarily long. Is there a way to cut it down, potentially into prose?

It seems to have been done already. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:31, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is the point of having (British Museum) in the image caption?

Image now removed. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:31, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The photograph of the coins was released under a non-commercial license, which is incompatible with the commons. I've flagged it there.

Image now removed. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:31, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Archaeology

There's a clarification tag that needs to be addressed. I'm also concerned about how necessary such a long quote is

Quote now reduced down. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:26, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description of Existing ruins

I think "diazoma" would be better off linking to a wiktionary entry, rather than that article which has one very short sentence on the subject.

no link used here, as the word is explained in the text. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:52, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

5 blocks -> five blocks

Done. AM

There is a moulding at the base -> The base has a moulding

Done. AM

most notable While the source does state this, I believe this is a peacock term.

Removed. AM

Other

There's a notes section with no notes.

Sorted (someone else removed the note, I think). Amitchell125 (talk) 11:14, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessary, but I'd always encourage editors to add alt text to any images.

Done, but (as you point out) alt text is not GA. Amitchell125 (talk) 11:14, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be quite a lot of information about the site in Bean (1978) that doesn't appear to be in the article (eg. the port being used to transport timber).

Bean presumes about the timber trade, so I won't add that, but I'll check through his chapter for other items of secondary information I may have missed out. Amitchell125 (talk) 11:14, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's quite a few short (1-2 sentence) paragraphs. These should be merged or expanded.

Done. AM

Spotcheck

7 - Clear

10 - excavators sank trial pits in numerous places at Kaş is directly copied from source. The next part of the sentence also is too closely paraphrased to the original source.

Text amended. AM

12 - It states that the earthquake was strong, but does not mention the city or how it was affected. Citation 11 only mentions that the city was affected by the earthquake with no further information. Checking citation 13, I still have issues: 1) I can't find a mention of the tsunami relating to the city, 2) I'm questioning why the paragraph says "probably", when there's no sources stating that they were affected by an unknown earthquake, 3) where does it state "well-documented"?

Paragraph rewritten. Amitchell125 (talk) 11:04, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

19 - The quote jumps around, although I would suggest severely editing down this quote, you do also need to add an ellipsis if you're condensing what other people have written.

Done. AM

27 - Clear

28 - Clear

38 - Where was this originally published? Otherwise, clear.

Sorted. AM

44 - The page number is incorrect, but clear.

I'm not sure you are right here—the text does come from p. 44 (I have a copy of the book). Amitchell125 (talk) 10:00, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the reference should be for page 96? (and not page 94 as its listed in the article) Page 96 states: on the south side the wall is almost entirely destroyed down to ground-level, though its line is recognizable in places. The highest point is occupied by an enclosure with a rough wall surrounding a hollow now filled with scrub; this apparently represents a medieval fortification of the summit.

Thanks for the link to the book. You have accessed the 2004 edition (the book I am using was published in 2006, as stated in the article). It also appears you are referring to the chapter on Phellos, a different place. Amitchell125 (talk) 05:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Freedom4U: The above points have now been addressed. Amitchell125 (talk) 07:25, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Amitchell125: Oop just noticed this. FYI, your message didn't ping because you didn't add a signature when you added it (it needs to be done in the same edit for it to ping). Everything looks good to me, I'll pass it now. :3 F4U (they /it) 22:33, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
