@Snazzyricotta:, you're doing great work. Very impressive to see the effort you have put into the article, which had deep problems before you worked on it. Just a few suggestions. 1) When you cite book sources, you should be giving the page number; this is so that readers can verify the statements in the article. 2) The gallery at the end of the article had got excessive and needed cutting down, but this is a very visual subject and I think it deserves illustration by small galleries. I hope there will be more images added. 3) The first sentence includes the word muraqqa which will be unfamiliar to the vast majority of English readers. Although the word is wiki-linked to an explanation, there still needs to be a short explanation in this article of what a muraqqa is. 4) When you use the Cite button, one of the options is to Reuse a citation that already exists in the article. This might save you some time and make things clearer for readers. Best wishes, MartinPoulter (talk) 21:44, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
