• Support Thought this was featured. Mind, I don't speak Arabic, so it may just be something vaguely similar that I'm thinking of. Useful, especially in Kufic. I'd suggest Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Culture, entertainment, and lifestyle/Religion and mythology as a category. Any other suggestions? Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 11:58, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

• Support assuming it is a good example of Kufic script, I can't tell, but if it is it has EV. Otherwise I would say it does not have EV. Mattximus (talk) 01:18, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
