Bab al-Nairab

(

• ... that the Bab al-Nairab neighborhood in Aleppo, Syria was originally a 13th-century gate built by the Ayyubid ruler al-Aziz Muhammad, although its construction had been planned by his predecessor and father az-Zahir Ghazi?

• Interesting article. Informative and well-written (I've made a few very minor copyedits). AGF on the sources, though they all look decent enough, and the length and date are fine. However, the hook is significantly too long (225 characters but the limit is 200). Could you please provide an alternative? You could perhaps cut short the existing hook after the word "Muhammad".

• How about:
• ALT1... that the Bab al-Nairab neighborhood in Aleppo, Syria was originally a 13th-century gate planned by the Ayyubid ruler az-Zahir Ghazi, but built by his successor al-Aziz Muhammad?

That works for me - well done. I think we're good to go now. Prioryman (talk) 19:08, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
